Introduction Any country’s economic growth and development mainly depend on whether its agricultural sector can fulfil the needs of many or not. India is currently the largest producer of milk, pulses and jute and the second largest producer of rice, wheat, cotton, fruits and vegetables, being the largest exporter of agricultural goods India clocked around… Continue reading What is the next revolution in Agriculture?

In the year 2022, the surface temperature of the Earth was 1.55 Degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the average of 57 Degrees Fahrenheit (NOAA,2023). As the world warms, the frequency and intensity of climate change related disasters amplify, posing a significant risk. Heatwaves, Droughts, Hurricanes, and typhoons have caused havoc across every area, leaving no continent… Continue reading The Role of Remote Sensing in Tackling Crop Insurance Anomalies

In the vast realm of technological progress, few innovations have captivated our collective imagination and transformed the way we perceive our world as profoundly as high-resolution satellites. These remarkable spacecrafts, bristling with cutting-edge imaging sensors, have elevated the art of Earth observation to unprecedented levels of precision and detail. High-resolution satellites are our window to… Continue reading Unlocking the World’s Secrets: High-Resolution Satellites and Their Transformative Power

The GIS and Remote Sensing data have been brought to use for wildlife observation in particularly for geological mapping of animals’ count in remote locations, in the raising concerns over endangered animal and bird species’ population. The use of low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and highly accurate aerial LiDAR mapping services and digital terrain… Continue reading Using Remote Sensing for Mapping and Counting Animals

Nowadays, remotely sensed images are used for various purposes in different applications. One of them is change detection using high resolution satellite imagery of city areas. Urbanization with rapid land use and land cover change has taken place in many cities of the world in the last 50 years. In this context, comparison of extraction… Continue reading Spatial and Temporal GIS Analysis Using Change Detection

Spatial decision problems typically involve a large set of feasible alternatives & multiple evaluation criteria most of the time, these are conflicting. Alternatives & criteria are often evaluated by a number of individuals (decision-makers, managers, stakeholders, interest groups). Most of the time, they also have conflicting ideas, preferences, objectives, etc.  GIS  techniques & procedures have an important… Continue reading Delineating groundwater prospect zones using Multi Criteria Analysis ( MCA)

Due to inappropriate land use, erosion has become one of the most dangerous forms of soil degradation leading to significant reduction of soil fertility and crop yields. The implementation of appropriate measures is strongly needed in order to prevent further degradation of soil. For this reason, GIS and Remote Sensing have been used extensively for… Continue reading Mapping Soil Erosion using USLE

Agriculture is undergoing a revolution with increased producer acceptance of an improved management concept called Precision Farming. Simply stated, precision farming promotes greater yields and reduced input costs by ensuring that the right things are done at the right time at right place and in right amount in the field. Precision farming is a knowledge-based… Continue reading Role of Global Positioning System (GPS) / Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in Precision Farming

In September 2011, the China National Space Administration launched an 8.5 metric tones space station which was used as a technology protocol Chinese space station being live since 2013. Tiangong-1 since 2013, gathered data which helped Chinese find minerals and monitor ocean and for forecasting applications. The Chinese space station flies over land and sea… Continue reading Chinese Space Station Tiangong-1 Crashed
