Coastal Vulnerability Index for Parts of Orissa Coast, East Coast of India, Bay of Bengal
Abstract: Coastal zones are highly dynamic in nature and now a days worst affected by the increasing frequency of the extreme events like tsunami, storm surge and cyclone as result of global climatic change. So there is a need for inculcating efficient and sustainable use of coastal zone in management practices keeping in mind the needs of future generation and it is necessary to plan out some strategic methods which requires …

Soil Moisture Retrieval from Brightness Temperature using Passive Microwave Remote Sensing
Abstract: Soil Moisture (SM) data are often a derived product of Microwave Remote Sensing (MRS) satellites. The brightness temperature (Tb) however, is a basic quantity associated with the satellites in the Microwave range and is available as a common data product from all MRS satellites. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop an algorithm to retrieve SM information directly from the Tb values obtained from the Advanced Microwave …

Effect of Slope on Estimating Tree Biomass using Satellite Data in Belasitsa Mountain Forest, Bulgaria
Abstract: 800x600 Remote sensing of above ground tree biomass (AGTB) in rugged and mountainous forest sites incurs uncertainties in accuracy due to the influences of various bio-physical and topographic factors. Particularly slope is an important factor affecting the accuracy of remote sensing AGTB. This study investigates how slope affects the estimation of above ground tree biomass using vegetation indices (VIs) calculated from an ASTER image in the Belasitsa Mountain forest in …

Mapping of Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Upper Ponnaiyar Watershed, Tamil Nadu: A Remote Sensing and GIS Approach
Abstract: Land use and land cover is an important element in understanding the interactions of human activities with the environment and thus it is necessary to assess changes. Experiential observation revealed that changes have occurred in land use/land cover and hence an attempt is made to study the changes in land use and land cover in upper Ponnaiyar river basin over a period of 40 years (1973–2013). The study carried out …

Application of Geo-Informatics for Cadastral Level Land Use/Land Cover Mapping in Adalpur Micro Watershed of Mahendergarh District for Sustainable Agriculture Management
Abstract: This work represents the case study of Adalpur Micro watershed cadastral level land use/land cover (LULC) mapping for sustainable agricultural management. . This area is situated in Krishnawati seasonal river drainage area. IRS P-6 LISS-IV satellite images for two crop seasons (Rabi and Kharif) of the year 2007 were used to delineate LU/LC within the watershed area. The Rabi and kharif season data are interpreted digitally for delineation of land …
