Monitoring of Tehri Hydroelectric Plant Induced Land Use Land Cover Change Detection in Garhwal District of Uttarakhand
Abstract: The present study analyses the land use change caused by the construction of Tehri dam in Bhagirathi river. Geospatial techniques like Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing have been used to make land use map using Landsat satellite image of 2000 and 2014. In Tehri district, change in land use and new developments (industrial, urban and commercial) were observed. Land use land cover change was done using two satellite …

Ocean Surface Target Feature Extraction from Fused Multi-Polarized Bands of Sentinel-1 Data
Abstract: The introduction of new generation high-resolution SAR imagery helps in the effective monitoring of land and ocean surfaces. The SAR imagery acquired are often degraded by speckle noise which makes it difficult for quality interpretation mainly in ocean domain. Speckle reduction techniques are applied to these images to reduce the noise prior to other image processing tasks. In this paper, three different speckle reduction methods are applied both in VV …

Detecting Land Use and Land Cover and Land Surface Temperature Change in Lilongwe City, Malawi
Abstract: In south east Africa, Lilongwe city had an observed rapid population growth over the past decade and a half. The same city also had recently observed increased temperatures and adverse weather conditions such as occassional heavy storms which caused severe flooding in January 2017 and December 2017. It was therefore thought wise to do a land use and land cover (LULC) study of the city over time to detect land …

Monitoring and Analysis of Displacement Using InSAR Techniques for Gulaba Landslide Site
Abstract: Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful remote sensing technique which provides high spatial resolution images with continuous temporal coverage of the earth surface data for monitoring of long-term landslide displacement. In the current study over Gulaba Camp in Manalito Marhi (Himachal Pradesh, India) region, a novel approach to monitor the landslide using the ascending and descending InSAR data sets is being implemented. 30 ascending and 23 descending Sentinel-1 …

A Study of the Rainfall Drop-Size Distribution at Umiam using Thies Clima Laser Precipitation Monitor from May to October, 2017
Abstract: Rainfall monitoring has been going on at NESAC, Umiam from February 2016 onwards under the ISRO-ONERA-CNES joint Ka-Band Propagation Experiment. SAC, Ahmedabad has provided NESAC with a Laser Precipitation Monitor to replace its old impact type Disdrometer which is not working anymore. After its installation at NESAC in May 2017, it is giving continuous data. With the LPM data, a drop size distribution study has been done for the tropical …
