Methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, contributes about one third to the global green house gas emissions. CH4-assimilating microbes (mostly methanotrophs) in upland soils play very crucial role in mitigating the CH4 release into the atmosphere. Agricultural, environmental, and climatic shifts can alter CH4 sink profiles of soils, likely through shifts in CH4-assimilating microbial community ...

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the potentiality of satellite images with high spatial resolution (QuickBridII) and GPS system for cadastral applications in a zone so particular in landuse administration like Rapa Nui or Easter Island, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, lat 27o 07’ long 109o 22’ in front to the Chilean coast. Additionally, the last cartographic informatio...

Remotely sensed data is the most important data source for environmental change study over the past 40 years. Since large collections of remote sensing imagery have been acquired in a time frame of successive years, it is now possible to study long-term spatio-temporal pattern of environmental change and impacts of human activities. This study seeks an efficient and practical methodology for la...

It is essential to examine the sensitivity of hydrologic responses to climate and landuse change across different physiographic regions in order to formulate sound water management policies for local response to projected global change. This study used the U.S. Geological Survey's Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) model to examine the potential impacts of climate and landuse changes o...

Increasing population growth worldwide is putting increasing pressure on water resources. In arid and semi area pressure goes to groundwater. Keeping in view havoc capability of remote sensing and GIS, a study for the integrated groundwater development has been under taken in part of Lalitpur district, Uttar Pradesh. The Satellite data of IRS -IC and ID have been used to prepare the hydrogeomor...

Jeneberang Basin is situated in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. In the recent years, the function of this basin could not be performed optimally in maintaining sustainability hydrologic function of Jeneberang dam. Therefore, in order to maintain the hydrologic function of the dam, it is necessary to formulate suitable landuse at upstream of the river basin. This research is objected to formulate pol...

Between the Second World War and the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, privately held land was generally forbidden in the Soviet Union. In Latvia, as well as in other former States of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the government has instituted a land restitution policy to reinstate lands to their previous owners. Latvia’s Gauja National Park was created as the second Soviet national park...

The study aimed at evaluating the socio-economic impact of landcover / landuse changes in Owerri Municipal, Imo State, Nigeria using remote sensing and GIS with a view to improving quality life social development through its objectives; identify pattern area for period 30 years i.e. 1987 2002 2017, evaluate environmental these predict future area. methodology adopted this involved sourcing sate...

Chitteri Hills of Eastern Ghats is primarily covered by evergreen forests and deciduous forests. Forest Management, change in landuse rapid economic development has caused a minor the landscape Chitteri.

Detection of change is the measure of the distinct data framework and thematic change information that can direct to more tangible insights into underlying process involving land cover and landuse changes. Monitoring the locations and distributions of land cover changes is important for establishing links between policy decisions, regulatory actions and subsequent landuse activities. Change det...
