Expansion of Impervious Surfaces and Their Driving Forces in Highly Urbanized Cities in Kyrgyzstan [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 The expansion of urban areas due to population increase and economic expansion creates demand and depletes natural resources, thereby causing land use changes in the main cities. This study focuses on land cover datasets to characterize impervious surface (urban area) expansion in select cities from 1993 to 2017, using supervised classification maximum

Impacts of impervious surface expansion on soil organic carbon--a spatially explicit study. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractThe rapid expansion of impervious surface areas (ISA) threatens soil organic carbon (SOC) pools in urbanized areas globally. The paucity of field observations on SOC under ISA (SOCISA), especially in dryland areas has limited our ability to assess the ecological impacts of ISA expansion. Based on systematically measured SOCISA(0–80 cm depth) of

Remote sensing of impervious surface growth: A framework for quantifying urban expansion and re-densification mechanisms [PDF]
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2016 A substantial body of literature has accumulated on the topic of using remotely sensed data to map impervious surfaces which are widely recognized as an important indicator of urbanization. However, the remote sensing of impervious surface growth has not been successfully addressed. This study proposes a new framework for deriving and summarizing urban

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE EXPANSION ON URBAN RUNOFF [PDF]
African Journal on Land Policy and Geospatial SciencesAnalysis of impervious surface expansion in urban areas has been a great deal all over the world. The impact of this expansion has been challenging the environment, people in particular. This study has considered the expansion in urban imperviousness as

Study on Urban Expansion Using the Spatial and Temporal Dynamic Changes in the Impervious Surface in Nanjing [PDF]
Sustainability, 2019 Impervious surface area is a key factor affecting urbanization and urban environmental quality. It is of great significance to analysis timely and accurately the dynamic changes of impervious surface for urban development planning. In this study, we use a comprehensive method to extract the time series data on the impervious surface area (ISA) from the

Beyond expansion: impervious surface reversals in Zhengzhou, China
Journal of Land Use ScienceUrban land-use/cover change research has long neglected impervious surface (IS) reversals, resulting in an incomplete understanding of urban land transitions. Using Zhengzhou as a case, this research utilised annual Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI images (2000–2020)
