Assessing forest canopy closure in a geospatial medium to address management concerns for tropical islands: Southeast Asia
Type: Journal Article
The present study outlines an approach to classify forest density and to estimate canopy closure of the forest of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago. The vector layers generated for the study area using satellite data was ...
CBD 2010 target: a case study of Kolleru Wetland (Ramsar Site), India using remote sensing and GIS
Type: Journal Article
Regular monitoring of wetlands is an essential element of management for 'wise use'. Indeed, the Ramsar convention requires routine monitoring in order to detect changes in the ecological character at listed sites. However, ...
Landscape level characterization of seasonal floodplains under community based aquaculture: illustrating a case of the Ganges and the Mekong Delta
Type: Working Paper
The project 'Community-based Fish Culture in Seasonal Floodplains' (henceforward the community-based fish culture project), CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food, aims to enhance fish production in seasonal floodplains ...
Assessment of forest fragmentation and species diversity in North Andaman Islands (India): a geospatial approach
Type: Journal Article
The present study was carried out in the context of conservation biology research, focusing on the species diversity in the fragmented landscapes of island ecosystem. The study analyzed the levels of forest fragmentation ...
Mountain GIS: promoting geographic information and earth observation applications for the sustainable development of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region
Type: Conference Paper
The Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region, home to the largest concentration of glaciers outside of the polar region, is the ‘water-tower’ of Asia. The HKH mountain ecosystem provides life support services to almost a third ...
Explaining climate variability vis-a-vis spatio-temporal interactions in Bangladeshi Exclusive Economic Zone (BEEZ)
Type: Journal Article
We present an application of time series remote sensing data and climatological information for improved understanding of complexity in the Bangladeshi Exclusive Economic Zone (BEEZ). Three seasonal slots from the annual ...
Remote sensing and GIS for wetland inventory, mapping and change analysis
Type: Journal Article
A multiple purpose wetland inventory is being developed and promoted through partnerships and specific analyses at different scales in response to past uncertainties and gaps in inventory coverage. A partnership approach ...
From global to local: testing the potential of cross-scaling in global data sets
Type: Journal Article
The present study investigates the potential of readily available and easily accessible global data sets to understand regional/local level interactions in wetland systems. The biogeographical zones of India were used a ...
Remote sensing application to study the aquaculture dynamics in Kolleru Lake, India
Type: Conference Paper
Kolleru lake, India’s largest fresh water lake, and lone Ramsar site in Andhra Pradesh state have undergone tremendous changes due to development of aquaculture. Large-scale aquaculture practices, increased industrial ...
