Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced plans to reduce the Kaziranga Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) to one km as opposed to the current 10 km. The state government’s intention has raised con...
Glaw Lake was recently designated as Arunachal Pradesh’s First and India’s 101st Ramsar Site. It is located within the Kamlang Tiger Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary. It hosts diverse flora and fauna sp...
Kerala has witnessed one of the most devastating floods in history. Many lives and livelihoods were lost in just a few days. To reduce future occurrences and the impact of such calamities, it is impor...
Flood is a complex outcome of an interface between geological, physiographical, hydrological, meteorological and anthropogenic dynamics. It mandates high computational techniques for the analysis of a...
Soil erosion is the removal of the top layer by natural agents. However, deforestation, overgrazing and infrastructural development accelerate soil erosion. As soil is a critical natural resource, the...
Global changes due to the influence of extraterrestrial phenomena can be studied by using various satellite based information. An attempt is made in this article to understand the influence of such ch...
Kerala has witnessed one of the most devastating floods in history. Many lives and livelihoods were lost in just a few days. To reduce future occurrences and the impact of such calamities, it is important that we focus on implementing and improving the measures that can offer greater resilience.
Flood is a complex outcome of an interface between geological, physiographical, hydrological, meteorological and anthropogenic dynamics. It mandates high computational techniques for the analysis of a large volume of hierarchical pictorial data. GIS technology, inseparably interleaved with remote sensing, helps to panoramically beam complex issues involving river floods and the feasibility of dete...
Soil erosion is the removal of the top layer by natural agents. However, deforestation, overgrazing and infrastructural development accelerate soil erosion. As soil is a critical natural resource, the risk of its erosion must be addressed urgently. Use of modern technologies like remote sensing and GIS can help build an understanding towards risk mitigation.
