Land Use/Land Cover Change Detection Using GIS and Remote Sensing: A Case Study of District Rawalpindi
Abstract: Aggregation and visualization of geographic data are significant aspects of environment modeling, agricultural management and socio-economic status. Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing had been used to aggregate the change detection of land use/Land cover (LULC) change. This can help to identify adaptations in the properties or phenomena which are imaginary in the diverse time period. This study takes the temporal-spatial subtleties of LULC using satellite imageries of different …

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 …

Satellite Based Assessment of Biomass and Carbon Stock for a Mountainous Watershed Using Geoinformatics Technique
Abstract: Biomass and carbon estimation methods are relatively time consuming and more expensive, not uniformly standardized across the world, and are characterized in many regions by undersampling. Remote sensing technologies provide powerful tools for observing biomass and carbon stock estimation in mountain environments. The study gives a practical method for mapping forest biomass and carbon stock that uses spatial information on forest type and structural attributes extracted from a satellite image. …

GIS Based Assessment of Soil Erosion Using Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) in Wular Catchment of Kashmir
Abstract: The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) has been assessed in the present study using Remote Sensing and GIS in order to estimate the potential Soil Loss at watershed level in Wular Catchment. Wular Catchment has an area of 1200.36 km2 and lies between 34o12′24″ and 34o36′26″ N latitude and 74o26′41″ and 74o56′02″E longitude. Its altitudinal range is from 1580 meters near Wular Lake to about 4500 meters in Harmukh range. …

Quantification of River Bank Erosion, Accretion and Its Effect on Land Use: A Case Study of the Ganges (Left Bank) Upstream of Farakka Barrage, Malda District, West Bengal
Abstract: Bank erosion is mainly a physical process of river dynamics that causes threat to the riparian and floodplain structures, engulfs fertile agricultural land, homes, means of livelihood and assets of the people. Along with physical causes, anthropogenic activities disturb the equilibrium of the river dynamics along the river stretch and accelerate the rate of bank erosion. The study focuses to quantify the decadal and mouza-wise erosion and accretion along the …

Spatiotemporal Modeling of Soil Erosion Under Agricultural Expansion in the Amravati Basin, India Using RUSLE–GIS
Abstract: Agricultural expansion and soil erosion are important environmental issues in areas where agriculture is a major source of livelihood. This study analyzes the spatial and temporal patterns of soil erosion in the Amravati Basin of Maharashtra and evaluates the impact of agricultural expansion using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Multi-source data, such as satellite imagery, rainfall records, soil characteristics, and topography …

Validating the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) terrestrial water storage dataset using Terra MODIS NDVI anomaly.
Abstract: The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) is the advance tool for mapping the changes in the gravitation field of the earth. The satellite launches in 2002 and the follow off mission is in 2016. The gravitational changes of the earth are downscaled into the changes in the mass with the different algorithm by three institutions. Further the mass anomaly is converted into the equivalent water thickness of the terrestrial …

Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Flood: A Comparison of Various Methods
Abstract: Microwave Remote Sensing is used to detect different land cover types such as, bare soil, water bodies, vegetation cover, forest cover etc., and using different procedures. In this paper, we have targeted on a methodology to detect difference between land and water by using brightness temperature at different frequencies during the flooding period. Disastrous flood occurred in Kashmir (India) during 2014, and passive microwave remote sensing data are utilized for …

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 …

Effective Strategies for Sustainable Soil and Water Management: Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Environmental Conservation
Abstract: Soil and water are essential natural resources, and their degradation due to erosion, overgrazing and other factors is ongoing. Water erosion is influenced by climate, topography, vegetation and soil, while wind erosion is affected by wind characteristics, surface features, topography and soil properties. Unsustainable land and water management practices lead to reduced soil fertility, soil loss, lower crop yields, water depletion, deforestation, and diminished biomass. Of the 1386 million cubic …
