Effect of Slope on Estimating Tree Biomass using Satellite Data in Belasitsa Mountain Forest, Bulgaria
Abstract: 800x600 Remote sensing of above ground tree biomass (AGTB) in rugged and mountainous forest sites incurs uncertainties in accuracy due to the influences of various bio-physical and topographic factors. Particularly slope is an important factor affecting the accuracy of remote sensing AGTB. This study investigates how slope affects the estimation of above ground tree biomass using vegetation indices (VIs) calculated from an ASTER image in the Belasitsa Mountain forest in …

Mountaineer’s Health and GPS Tracking System
Abstract: Mountaineering is always a fun and adventurous activity. But mountaineering comes with a lot of risks. Mountain climbers have heavy chances of mishaps. Search and rescue efforts frequently fail when a similar tragedy takes place in a rural area or at a high elevation. As a result, the search and rescue team is ignorant of the accident's location or whether or not the individual is alive and, if so, what …

Rainfall-runoff Relationship in Small Mountainous Catchments
Abstract: An event of stream danger was seen in a little watershed, where precipitation prompted a critical decrease in soil dampness content. This development of soil water can be perceived as sporadic motions as it streams into lower layers. This peculiarity includes a significant measure of water going through the dirt, contributing fundamentally to the general outpouring from the watershed. The precariousnessdriven stream hypothesis can depict this peculiarity, which emerges because …

Smart and adaptive cutting-edge IoT based implementation for remote environments
Abstract: In remote, mountainous, or snow-covered regions, mobile networks and GPS signals usually become unreliable, which creates major challenges for search and rescue (SAR) operations. To overcome the issue, this paper presents a compact, low-power, voice-activated wearable device that integrates LoRa communication with a TinyML-based keyword detection system. The proposed device enables individuals to send signals in areas where GPS coverage is unavailable. Using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), the …
