This blog post presents a remote sensing-based approach to assess the spatiotemporal impact of mining activities on land use/land cover (LULC).
Whether urban afforestation truly has an impact? By investing in urban afforestation, how much is it helping their city? Is there a way for them to maximize the cooling effects they achieve?
Soil organic carbon (SOC) might be invisible to the naked eye, but it’s one of the major parameters driving soil health and fertility. Measuring and predicting its levels across landscapes, especially in vulnerable semi-arid regions, is critical for sustainable land management. This blog delves into the arena of SOC mapping, […]
The early part of the twenty-first century has recorded the forest carbon loss increasing in the tropical regions. A remote sensing study to this effect was conducted that extensively used the vast collection of Landsat satellite images. Forest cover change Landsat 30 m spatial resolution data was aggregated yearly to […]
Kolleru Lake is India’s largest freshwater lake. In recent years, satellite images of the lake witnessed the fishpond lakes developing, drastically altering the region’s land use and land cover. The analysis employed Landsat images over the year 2018. A median image was generated using all the cloud-free images available during […]
As derived from Landsat series datasets, the satellite-based land surface temperature data is prevalent among researchers studying surface urban heat islands. Surface urban heat island is the term given to the land surface temperature difference in urban areas concerning the land surface temperature of the surrounding surface. The following are […]
A few villages at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent have shown high erosional rates (4 to 10 metres per year). This was revealed in a recent geospatial study conducted using multi-date satellite images. How was it detected? Geospatial technology was utilised for this study. Satellite-based remotely sensed images, repeatedly acquired […]
