Indian cities are experiencing an accelerated pace of growth since independence and are now emerging as centres of domestic and international investments in an era of economic reforms, liberalisation and globalization. This has created opportunities for technologists and planning professionals to guide and develop the process of planned development and management utilizing modern technologies. ...

A subset of spatial information that many people deal with is "geographical" information. It is related to location on the earth's surface. Our most common encounter with this type of information is through topographic and tourist maps, nautical charts etc. With the advent of remote sensing, the maps generation has taken a new turn in addition to topology. The remote sensing data is being used ...

Monitoring of reclaimed sites is a complex, interdisciplinary undertaking, especially in large, disturbed areas with difficult access. In that context, remote sensing is a unique and valuable tool that provides a synoptic view of an entire reclamation program and its progress over time, extending the more detailed but sparsely distributed in situ monitoring. Using remote sensing data, we are cr...

Accurate estimation of spatial and temporal distribution of the water resources parameters is a crucial for hydrologic models. During the last decades, engineers and planners have shown keen interest in applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite based Remote Sensing (RS) technologies to extract land surface parameters, which acted as a threshold in early days, to obtain reasona...

The Adriatic Sea is a semi-enclosed sea of the European side of the Mediterranean, covering 138 595 km2 and containing 35 000 km3 of sea water (LUŠIĆ & KOS, 2006). It exchanges its waters with the greater Mediterranean through the Otranto Strait at an approximate rate of 3.3 years (FRANIĆ, 2005), although turnover time varies from 1-5 years when determined with A set of spaceborne synthetic ape...

During the past decades the publication of papers interest related to the use of geographical information systems (GIS) and/or remote sensing (RS) and of particular interest to veterinary parasitology veterinary followed an exponential trend. The use of GIS and RS is now generally accepted by the scientific community as a major tool contributing to the understanding of epidemiological processes...

satellite data have been used for temperature modeling both in urban areas and water. this paperstudies viability of aster satellite images that provide high spatial and spectral resolution to model watersurface temperature, as a fundamental water quality parameter. this study is focused on dez dam reservoirresiding in khuzestan province, south west of iran. after the image corrections required...

the study on water level fluctuation in the urmia lake has become of a great importance in recent years. this is due to the importance of the position of this lake as a natural heritage at an international level. the water level decrease at the urmia lake during the recent years has made it necessary to address the matter more than before. investigation and assessment of changes in the lake is ...
