When using microwave remote sensing for land use/land cover (LULC) classifications, there are a wide variety of imaging parameters to choose from, such as wavelength, imaging mode, incidence angle, spatial resolution, and coverage. There is still a need for further study of the combination, comparison, and quantification of the potential of multiple diverse radar images for LULC classifications...

Cities in the contemporary world are experiencing shifts local climatic conditions that primarily linked to rapid urban growth, carbon emissions, and environmental degradation. In present study, land surface temperature (LST) peri-urban regions of city Ranchi was estimated correlated with use/land cover (LULC) using temporal LANDSAT satellite images from 2000 2014 on a bi-annual basis. The stud...

introduction: mass production of natural enemies has been considered a necessity for biological control programs. most beneficial insects have a relatively short shelf-life, so suppliers do not have a sufficient number of biocontrol agents. the development of storage techniques for biocontrol agents provides flexibility and efficiency in mass production. cold storage by prolonging insect develo...

A relevant issue in Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS is related to the analysis and the characterization of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes, very useful for a wide range of environmental applications and to efficiently undertake landscape planning and management policies. The methodology described has been applied to a case-study conducted in the area of the Province of Avellino (Southern Italy)....

Land use-land cover (LULC) change is one of the major environmental changes occurring around the globe. Water quality is one of such factors affected by LULC change, since it is a key component of a healthy watershed where it integrates important geomorphic, hydrologic, and some of the biological processes of a watershed (Hem, 1985). Alteration of any one of these processes will affect one or m...

a r t i c l e i n f o The studies of impervious surfaces are important because they are related to many environmental problems, such as water quality, stream health, and the urban heat island effect. Previous studies have discussed that the self-organizing map (SOM) can provide a promising alternative to the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural networks for image classification at both per-pixel...

Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are a dynamic process determined by natural factors as well the degree of human interaction in spatial temporal perspectives. The present study focuses on analysing LULC Bhilangana basin post-Tehri dam construction Garhwal Himalaya. Landsat series satellite images were used for three time periods to quantify using unsupervised classification techniques. ca...
