Applying Built-Up and Bare-Soil Indices from Landsat 8 to Cities in Dry Climates
Land, 2018 Arid and semi-arid regions have different spectral characteristics from other climatic regions. Therefore, appropriate remotely sensed indicators of land use and land cover types need to be defined for arid and semi-arid lands, as indices developed for ...

Remote sensing‐based geostatistical hot spot analysis of Urban Heat Islands in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 438-458, September 2023., 2023 Urban Heat Island (UHI) refers to a phenomenon whereby urban areas experience higher temperatures compared to the surrounding areas. Remote sensing‐based Land Surface Temperature (LST) measurements can be utilized to measure UHI. This study emphasized on geostatistical remote sensing‐based hot spot analysis (Gi*) of UHI in Dhaka, Bangladesh as a way of

Modeling Land Use Change in Sana’a City of Yemen with MOLUSCE
Journal of Sensors, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 This study provided insight into the size of the difference between the actual and predicted changes in Landsat 8 satellite imagery for the case study Sana’a of Yemen. The LULC classification was created using data available in 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. It used the MOLUSCE tool for predicting land changes for the predicted for 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025,
