Coastal Vulnerability Index for Parts of Orissa Coast, East Coast of India, Bay of Bengal
Abstract: Coastal zones are highly dynamic in nature and now a days worst affected by the increasing frequency of the extreme events like tsunami, storm surge and cyclone as result of global climatic change. So there is a need for inculcating efficient and sustainable use of coastal zone in management practices keeping in mind the needs of future generation and it is necessary to plan out some strategic methods which requires …

Integrated Remote Sensing Indices for Assessing Pre-Monsoon Water Scarcity Vulnerability in a Semi-Arid Coastal Ecosystem: A Case Study of Barda Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India
Abstract: Freshwater availability fundamentally shapes the structure and function of dryland ecosystems, where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation for most of the year. Protected areas in semiarid regions face intensifying hydrological stress from climate variability, growing wildlife populations, and resident human communities, yet systematic spatial assessments of water scarcity remain scarce for many critical habitats. The Barda Wildlife Sanctuary in coastal Gujarat, India, has recently become a secondary home for the endangered Asiatic …
