Detecting land cover changes through remote sensing and GIS techniques
This note concerns the updating of the land cover map of the Arno River basin (9.000 km) developed in the frame of a research project aimed at landslide risk assessment. The land cover map has been produced through the analysis of panchromatic/multispectral Landsat ETM+ images and TERRA-ASTER data; those data were integrated and compared with B/W and color ortho-photos. To improve photointerpre...
متن کاملAnalysis of seismic vulnerability using remote sensing and GIS techniques
This paper presents a framework to integrate several sources of spatial information to derive a map of seismic vulnerability for the city of Arica, Chile, which has been historically affected by this natural hazard. The proposed method is based on generating a geographical database with different variables that are related to human activity, considering factors of potential reduction and increa...
متن کاملTracking Desertification in California Using Remote Sensing: A Sand Dune Encroachment Approach
Most remote sensing studies in deserts focus solely on vegetation monitoring to assess the extent of desertification. However, the application of sand dune encroachment into such studies would greatly improve the accuracy in the prediction criteria of risk-prone areas. This study applies the latter methodology for tracking desertification using sand dunes in the Kelso Dunes (in Newberry-Baker, ...
متن کاملDetermining rural areas vulnerable to illegal dumping using GIS techniques. Case study: Neamt county, Romania
The paper aims to mapping the potential vulnerable areas to illegal dumping of household waste from rural areas in the extraCarpathian region of Neamț County. These areas are ordinary in the proximity of built-up areas and buffers areas of 1km were delimited for every locality. Based on various map layers in vector formats ( land use, rivers, buil-up areas, roads etc) an assessment method is pe...
