How modern Geospatial technology can be an asset in climate change studies? Introduction: Climate change is the most important and defining issue in the present scenario. Climate change refers to the changing climatic pattern and rise in the average surface temperature of the earth. Climate change is evident from the changing weather pattern, melting… Continue reading How modern Geospatial technology can be an asset in climate change studies?
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines sustainable development as 'sustainable development is the management and conservation of natural resources base and the orientation of technological and institutional changes in such a manner as to ensure the attainment and continued satisfaction of human needs for present and future generations. Such sustainable development conserves land, water,… Continue reading Geospatial Technology Fostering Sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals
Building Height Estimation and its Applications Introduction Nowadays cities are developing, the demand for updating land topography and land use maps also increasing. Remote Sensing has many applications in Urban Planning and Management. Satellite Images provide useful information and data for very fine analysis of Urban areas for mapping, extraction, and height estimation of buildings… Continue reading Building height estimation and 3D modelling
Protected Areas Protected areas are designated land or sea areas that are conserved for their high ecological values, wherein, biodiversity, wildlife, ecosystems, natural and cultural resources are protected by the law or private organizations. The protected area network (PAN) is widespread globally to ensure the continued existence of global biodiversity alike. Monitoring of the PAN… Continue reading Environmental monitoring and protection using remote sensing
Introduction Geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques use an overall approach for spatially comparing habitat aspects and species distribution. Ecological information is essential, in particular, to study various forest management methodologies concerning the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation, and perhaps to assess the impact of different places to be allocated from timber production. For species mapping,… Continue reading Habitat Suitability Mapping
Water resource management is a significantly challenging task for the nation. Remotely sensed satellites are designed to meet the vital information requirements of the water management to provide yet another opportunity for extensive monitoring and assessment of the physical features of the nation’s water resources. Analyses on a slope, drainage characteristics, and land use/land cover patterns… Continue reading Water Resource Management
Introduction Nowadays forests resources play an important role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon in their Forest biomass estimation. Biomass (B) is an assessment of how much living tissue mass is present in a population at one point in time. The health and environmental conditions of a forest ecosystem are reflected in biomass. Biomass… Continue reading Forest Biomass Estimation
Introduction Modeling using satellite imagery however has been identified as a significant approach for tracing larger parcels, such as farmland or forest plots. Earth observation satellites have a much large field of view than manned aerial imagery and much higher temporal resolutions, with performing frequent revisits during that same area on earth. Besides large regions, manned… Continue reading UAV FOR LANDPARCELS SURVEY AND MAPPING
Introduction Artificial Intelligence took a significant step that was emerging independently in GIS. GIS and AI have converged substantially over the last decade. GIS is a renowned technology that provides large data sets and a diverse range of AI applications. Companies are better prepared to achieve growth strategies, strong customer interactions, effective asset management, and… Continue reading GIS-BASED AI AND LOCATION INTELLIGENCE FOR BUSINESS AUTOMATION
Bathymetry is recognized as an essential component in marine applications because it is used in many coastal erosions tracking and engineering projects. Traditionally, it was obtained via shipboard echo sounding, but nowadays, multispectral satellite imagery is also commonly used with various remote sensing-based algorithms. The surface reflectance of shallow coastal waters is related to the… Continue reading Bathymetry Estimation and Marine Mapping
