Geospatial Assessment of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha: A Twenty-Year Perspective
Abstract: Among the recorded dynamic processes on the surface of the earth is the change in land use and land cover (LULC) pattern as an outcome of several anthropogenic practices. Planning, development, and management of land for sustainable usage of land depend on plotting and tracing the vagaries in LULC. Anthropogenic activity, generally for forestry and food production, is altering the land surface. The steadily diminishing landscape also has tragic implications …

Land Use and Land Cover Change: A Comprehensive Review of Environmental Implications
Abstract: Changes in land use and cover have a substantial impact on environmental dynamics and sustainability. These changes arise from various human activities, including urbanization, agriculture, and forestry, and have profound implications for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and land health. As urban areas expand, often at the expense of agricultural and forested landscapes, the transformation of land use alters ecological processes, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation. This article examines the implications …

Land Use and Land Cover Change Detection Study at Pennar River Estuary, Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh, Southeast Coast of India
Abstract: Coastal zones are the most valuable and dynamic places on Earth. A large portion of the world’s population has habitat coastal areas. Fertile coastal low lands, abundant marine resources, water transportation, aesthetic beauty and intrinsic values have long motivated coastal habitation. Two-thirds of the world’s fish catch, and many marine species, depend on coastal wetlands for their survival. The process of coastal morpho-dynamics has resulted in environmental problems such as …

Landscape Classification of Sariska National Park (India) and its Environments using Geospatial Technology
Abstract: The relationship between land use/land cover (LULC) changes and land degradation over a period of 20 years (1989–2009) at Sariska National Park (India), and its environment was investigated using remotely sensed and ancillary data. The study analyzed the magnitude and direction of temporal LULC changes for two consecutive periods; 1989–2009. The temporal change patterns of LULC were analyzed through interpretation of LANDSAT imagery. Final land cover maps produced under four …

Potential of Semi-automatic Object-based Land Cover Classifications using Very High Resolution Satellite Images: Tetuan-city Comparison Case Study
Abstract: Nowadays, mapping agencies need to update their topographic and information systems databases in order to draw: (i) urban planning (e.g., urban sprawl, road networks, etc.), and (ii) environmental planning (e.g., ecological corridors, forest change, etc.). In this context, object-based land cover classifications using very-high resolution satellites (VHRS) images (e.g., IKONOS, QuickBird, GeoEye WorldView-2, and recently Pléaides) are interesting tools to satisfy the needs of both scientific community and decision makers …

Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations
Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …
