Forecasting Climate-Driven Healthcare Demand in Agricultural Regions: A Multi-Modal AI Approach
Abstract: The rapidly increasing instability of world climatic regimes has made past meteorological thresholds irrelevant, especially in the agricultural areas where monetary stability and well-being of humans are closely intertwined with an environmental situation. The more the frequency of 1 in every 1000-year events, i.e., heatwaves and catastrophic flooding increase, the greater the rural healthcare systems are in crisis, i.e., unable to predict a surge in demand because of data scarcity, …

Remote Sensing and GIS-Based Approaches for Soil Salinization Assessment: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Soil salinization, a critical environmental challenge, significantly impacts land productivity, agricultural yields, and contributes to desertification, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Early detection and effective management of soil salinity are essential for sustainable agriculture and land management. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) have emerged as indispensable tools for mapping, monitoring, and analyzing soil salinity over vast areas. RS provides multi-temporal and multi-spectral data that helps identify …

Impact of Urbanization on Biodiversity Hotspot: A Case of Bhubaneswar City
Abstract: Urbanization has contributed to pollution and generation of waste heat leading to changes in the urban heat balance thereby influencing its microclimate. Urban regions confront heightened heat wave conditions due to urban heat island (UHI) impact, which is a result of anthropogenic effects on both surface and atmospheric temperature patterns relative to the natural environment. The investigation was carried out in a 20-km radius around the city of Bhubaneswar. The …
