Land Use and Land Cover Analysis of Jharkhand Using Satellite Remote Sensing
Abstract: IRS P6 LISS III data was used to delineate different land use/land cover classes of Jharkhand using visual interpretation technique. Tone and texture were found most important for interpretation of different objects. A total of 42 classes of different land use/land cover categories were interpreted. Agricultural land with current fallow and forest areas dominated the landscape of Jharkhand by occupying 49% and 30% of total geographical area, respectively. Built-up (urban …

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 …

Avalanche Hazard Mapping along Manali-patsio Road Axis (Himachal Pradesh, India) Using Advanced Geo-Informatics Techniques
Abstract: Avalanche occurrence is quite a hazardous and unpredictable natural phenomenon. A large number of factors that are associated with its occurrence make it quite difficult to assess hazard in hilly areas. There are two main groups of variables that define the avalanche hazard – meteorological conditions and terrain characteristics. Due to the stable nature along the time, terrain parameters are easier to map. The purpose of this work is to …

Conservation Prioritization using Multi-criteria Decision Model: A Case Study in Part of Western Himalayan Ecoregion
Abstract: Vegetation and land use map was prepared using the satellite image of IRS-1D LISS III sensor. Four vegetation types were mapped, viz., temperate broadleaf forest, temperate conifer forest, pine forest and degraded forest. Different forest types were characterized for conservation prioritization based on parameters obtained through field sampling and landscape analysis. These parameters were (i) species diversity, (ii) mosaic diversity, (iii) total plant value, and (iv) contagion. The areas of …
