Identifying Trends in Landuse/Landcover Changes in Hisar Tehsil: A LCM Based Approach
Abstract: Land is a source of all basic human needs, (e.g., agriculture, forest, water supply etc.) which is being continuously depleted by various agents. Urban growth and urbanization are considered as one of the major factors responsible for change in landcover dynamics and depletion of land resources. As compared with other landcover classes such as agricultural land, urban land has smaller area coverage but its impact to the surrounding environment is …

Deep Learning for Earth Observation Using Satellite Imagery: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Earth observation (EO) satellites provide continuous, large-scale information about the Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere, vegetation, infrastructure, and environmental conditions. The rapid growth of multispectral, hyperspectral, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), thermal, and high- resolution satellite missions has generated large volumes of heterogeneous spatial and temporal data. Conventional image-processing and machine-learning techniques often require manually designed features and may have difficulty representing the complex spatial, spectral, temporal, and multimodal characteristics of satellite …

REBONDING FOREST FIBRE TO SUSTAINABLE DEPLOYMENT
Abstract: The significance of wood in artistic manipulations is unraveled to any other material used in engineering, commercial or in infrastructural uses. All this is at the cost of eco-sustainability, not directly because manufacturing remains ecofriendly, but indirectly; because forests are expended in realization of this raw material. The author pre-supposes that with the mere thought of cutting a tree, environmental degradation has already begun [1]. As a preventive measure, least …
