Fluvial Dynamics Changes Driven by Illegal Gold Mining: A Land Use/Land Cover Analysis in the Ecuadorian Amazon [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Illegal alluvial mining has expanded rapidly across the Amazon basin, increasing pressure on river ecosystems, although its effects on fluvial dynamics during extreme hydrometeorological events remain insufficiently understood.

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 ...

Scenario-based land-use modelling to predict land surface temperature in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Academia Environmental Sciences and Sustainability
The rise in Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) is increasingly posing environmental and public health challenges in arid megacities. This study investigates these phenomena by analyzing 35 years of Landsat satellite imagery (1990–2024) to quantify ...

Spatial analysis of land use and cover changes: Implications of green legacy initiative on climate action in Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia

Trees, Forests and People
Analyzing land use land cover change is crucial for understanding the impacts of human activities on the natural environment. The government of Ethiopia has launched the Green Legacy Initiative (GLI) in June 2019 to minimize the impacts of climate change.

Comprehensive modelling of coastal landuse and land cover (LULC) dynamics and future changes using random forest, GEE, and MLP–Markov chain integration: a geo-computational approach

Scientific Reports
Coastal landuse / land cover (LULC) faces dynamic transformations driven by natural and human activities. This study investigates decadal LULC dynamics and their future projections (2034, 2044, and 2054) along the Ernakulam–Alappuzha coastal stretch of ...

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,
