PARADIS stands for a Prototype for Assisting Rational Activities in Demining using Images from Satellites. The aim of this project is to improve the planning of humanitarian demining campaigns using Remote Sensing data and GIS techniques. In this context, a user interface has been developed in ArcView GIS to integrate the tools needed for the management of the campaigns. The interface is built ...

Today more than ever, archeological research is interdisciplinary: environmental sciences, pollen analysis, botany, soil science, and hydrology. In fact, the impacts of human behaviors on environment and environment on human behaviors can be studied through use of remote sensing technology. The use of this important technique gives archaeologists the opportunity to understand these impacts, whi...

water plays a vital role in the development of activities in an area. the surface water resources are inadequate to fulfill the water demand. productivity through groundwater is quite high as compared to surface water, but groundwater resources have not yet been properly exploited. keeping this view, the present study attempts to select and delineate various groundwater potential zones for the ...

Irrigation is the artificial application of water to crops supply moisture. With rising drought indices and rapid population expansion, need for irrigation food production growing. Nonetheless, irrigated agriculture battling several issues that have resulted in poor performance, inefficient usage, low crop production. Improving use efficiency necessitates using technology decreases losses, matc...

Disaster risk information is spatial in nature and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) play an important key role by the services they provide to OPEN ACCESS ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2015, 4 1849 society. In this context, to risk management and governance, in general, and to civil protection, specifically (termed differently in many countries, and includes, for instance: ...

Abstract Infiltration is one of the watershed parameters that are essential for integrated water resources management. can be measured directly by a ground test such as using double infiltrometer. But very large watersheds, methods take lot time, require skilled manpower, and cost. Geographical information systems (GIS) remote sensing applications have been developed used in various fields reso...

In the Phase IIEcosystem Management Research Program in the Ouachita and Ozark National Forests, an interdisciplinary group of scientists are evaluating the effects and trade-offs ofpartial cutting methods in a replicated stand level study. Information from approximately 2,000 plots is being collected by more than fiftyresearchers during this five-year project with plans to continue data collec...
