Satellite imagery of nighttime lights provides a unique perspective on the spread of electric lighting across the globe. While these data are often used to track development,...
Vegetation Continuous Fields Datasource for Calculating Deforestation
Information about vegetation coverage of the earth's surface - particularly changes in coverage - enables...
In the last few years serious flood events occurred at the watershed of the river Tisza (both in Hungary and in Ukraine). One of the reasons of these floods is heavy...
In this study, maximum likelihood supervised classification and post-classification change detection techniques were applied to Landsat images acquired in 1987 and 2001,...
Historical reconstructions of land-use/cover change often require comparing maps derived from different sources. The objective of this study was to measure land-use/cover...
This paper describes different change detection techniques, including image differencing, image rationing, image regression and change vector analysis (CVA) to assess their...

Evaluation of watersheds and development of a management strategy require accurate measurement of the past and present land cover/land use parameters as changes observed in...
Mapping land use/land cover (LULC) changes at regional scales is essential for a wide range of applications, including landslide, erosion, land planning, global warming etc....
Morphological changes on Sagar Island are occurring at an alarming rate due to both natural and anthropogenic activities. The eastern part of the island is rapidly eroding due...
There is a lack of information on the environmental effects of urban change and the dynamics of greenspace. Such information is essential for a better understanding of the...
The Tropical Andes region includes biodiversity hotspots of high conservation priority whose management strategies depend on the analysis of forest dynamics drivers (FDDs)....
This knowledge of land surface temperature and its spatial variations within a city environment is of prime importance to the study of urban climate and human-environment...

Land use/land cover of the Earth is changing dramatically because of human activities and natural disasters. Information about changes is useful for updating land use/land cover...
Wind erosion is a complex process influenced by different factors. Most of these factors are stable over time, but land use/cover and land management practices are changing...
Vast tracts of forests are lost globally every year especially in the developing countries of the tropics due to various human activities such as lumbering, farming, bush fires,...
Mapping land use/land cover (LULC) and change detection using remote sensing and GIS techniques is an area of interest that has been attracting increasing attention. This paper...
This paper presents findings of a land-use and land-cover (LULC) change mapping exercise conducted in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Nine LULC classes were mapped from multi-temporal...
Coastal zones are most vulnerable for landuse changes in this rapid industrialization and urbanization epoch. It is necessary to evaluate land use — land cover (LULC) changes to...
Continual, historical, and precise information about the land use and land cover (LULC) changes of the Earth’s surface is extremely important for any kind of sustainable...
