Integrated Polarimetric-Interferometric Fusion for Heterogeneous Urban Signature Extraction
Abstract: Mapping heterogeneous urban environments using conventional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter intensity frequently produces classification errors due to spectral similarity between sparse built-up features, bare soil, and dry vegetation a challenge especially acute in semi-arid Deccan Plateau settings. This research presents a dual-path Pol- InSAR fusion framework that integrates polarimetric scattering decomposition and interferometric coherence stability to extract heterogeneous urban signatures over Beed Taluka, Maharashtra (area: 1,561.31 km²). A temporal …

Analysis of Existing Scenario of Sewerage Management in Gurugram and Forecasting its Future Demand
Abstract: AbstractWater, food and shelter are the basic needs of human beings but now become inaccessible resources. Due to the increasing demand for these resources, it cannot be met successfully by the conventional sources of energy. Indiscriminate rises in population imply industrialization, migration and the need for energy which leads to the environment degraded. In India, there are 113 river and vast alluvial basins to hold the groundwater. But due to …

Soil Microbial Biomass and Microbial Quotient under Different Plantations at Maldeota, Dehradun, India
Abstract: Microbial properties have been reported to be useful indicators of soil quality and could serve as assessment criteria for the successful rehabilitation of ecologically disturbed areas. The microbial quotient – ratio of soil microbial biomass C to soil organic C – may, therefore, be a more sensitive parameter to monitor organic matter dynamics than either microbial biomass C or soil organic C considered alone. The study site is located at …

Near-Surface Seismic Refraction Tomography; a case study for geotechnical application
Abstract: Usually, among geophysical techniques, seismic refraction methods are used to investigate near surface geology for engineering purposes. In these study physical parameters, longitudinal seismic wave velocities were used to characterize the shallow subsurface layers for geotechnical application. The physical response of subsurface materials varies as the structure, porosity, fluid saturation, composition and tie-up vary. These variations primarily viewed in the first arrival time of seismic waves. With the necessary steps, …
