Increasing Total Solar Irradiance on Far Future Climate: General Atmospheric Circulation
Abstract: The total solar irradiation at the top of the atmosphere is the primary forcing mechanism for the Earth's Climate System. In this work, we used the addition of 10% in the radiation value (from 1360 Wm−2 to 1496 Wm−2) to simulate the Earth's climate system in the habitable zone inner orbit. Two tenyear- long fully coupled simulations using the Community Earth System Model were performed; the CONTROL experiment was configured …

Landuse/Landcover Changes and Geo-Environmental Impacts on Beluguppa Mandal of Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh, India, using Remote Sensing and GIS Modelling
Abstract: The study aims to discriminate the changing pattern of land use and its geo-environmental impacts over the Beluguppa mandal of Anantapur district in the division of AP state, India. Satellite imageries were analyzed to perceive the changes in landuse and landcover (LULC) in the past 19 years in Beluguppa mandal. The assistance of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) modeling has been adopted in mapping the LULC changes. …

Evaluating Building Density Analysis Using Geographical Information System
Abstract: In Mekelle city, urban sprawl is continuously expanding to the surrounding hinterland at an alarming rate without considering the inner infill area of the city. Moreover, several numbers of developers and land speculator hold large tract of vacant land. This has resulted because land speculators buy large aggregation lands and develop small part of their plot and keep the land until the price rises up. And this creates low density …

How to Make Efficient Development Planning: A Critical Review of RUDA Development Plan
Abstract: Since the post-independence era, urban planning has been dominated by “Rational Planning” model, which has been practiced through preparation and implementation of master/development plan for smart growth and sustainable development of cities. As a resultant of this, urban planning has been deeply guided and monitored by public agencies through land use zoning and development control regulations. In India, urban development authorities have been given the responsibility for formulating development plan …
