REMOTE SENSING & CLIMATE CHAN - Scientific Pub

Remote sensing and Geographical Informa�on System (GIS) offers an

abundant opportunity to monitor and manage natural resources at mul�-

temporal, mul�-spectral and mul�-spa�al resolu�on. This system is based on

new tools and sources of informa�on provided by modern technologies.

These include Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Informa�on System (GIS) and

Global Posi�oning System (GPS) are such technologies that are much more

reliable, precise and efficient as well than any other resource assessment

technology. These technologies give a visual impression of the landscape

that helps to make quick decision in resource management. Satellite remote

sensing, in conjunc�on with geographic informa�on systems (GIS), has been

widely applied and been recognized as a powerful and effec�ve tool in

detec�ng land use and land cover change. It provides cost-effec�ve mul�-

spectral and mul�-temporal data, and turns them into informa�on valuable

for understanding and monitoring land development pa� erns.

Geo-informatics for Combating LandDegradation and Desertification

T. S. Chouhan

''Deser�fica�on'' means land degrada�on in arid, semiarid, and dry sub-humid

areas resul�ng from various factors, including clima�c varia�ons and human

ac�vi�es. Combat Deser�fica�on advocates for the importance of inclusive

coopera�on to restore and rehabilitate degraded land and contribute towards

achieving the overall Sustainable Development Goals. Land has been an

overlooked component in sustainable development for years. Now, we view

land as a vital link to provide solu�ons to cope with many other development

challenges such as climate change, secure water and energy resources,

promo�ng inclusive growth, and so on. It is widely accepted that satellite

remote sensing and Geo-informa�cs system offers considerable advantages

for land degrada�on and deser�fica�on assessments. With a comprehensive

spa�al coverage it is intrinsically synop�c, and provides objec�ve, repe��ve

data which contribute to resource assessments and monitoring concepts of

the process of deser�fica�on. However, if these observa�ons can be coupled

with GIS-based ecological modeling concepts, they may develop their full

capacity to be used for modifying and adap�ng mi�ga�on strategies.

Space technologies can play important roles in the reduc�on of disasters. The

use of such technologies can be par�cularly useful in the risk assessment,

mi�ga�on and preparedness phases of disaster management. Space

technologies are also vital to the early warning and management of the

effects of the disaster. It plays a great role in disaster management in such

areas as flooding, cyclones, drought, deser�fica�on, earthquake and tsunami.

Space technology is largely adopted due to its cost effec�veness, short

temporal orbi�ng and large area of coverage. Space technologies have been

used in disaster management especially during the preparedness/warning

and response/monitoring stages. One of the main advantages of the use of

the powerful combina�on techniques of a GIS, is the evalua�on of several

hazard and risk scenarios that can be used in the decision - making about the

future development of an area, and the op�mum way to protect it from

natural disasters. Space technology data derived from satellites are excellent

tools in the mapping of the spa�al distribu�on of disaster related data within a

rela�vely short period of �me. Many different satellite based systems exist

nowadays, with different characteris�cs related to their spa�al-, temporal

and spectral resolu�on. Space technology data should generally be linked or

calibrated with other types of data, derived from mapping, measurement

networks or sampling points, to derive at parameters, which are useful in the

study of disasters. It also allows monitoring the event during the �me of

occurrence while the forces are in full swing. The vantage posi�on of satellites makes it ideal for us to think of, plan for and

opera�onally monitor the event. GIS is used as a tool for the planning of evacua�on routes, for the design of centers for

emergency opera�ons, and for integra�on of satellite data with other relevant data in the design of disaster warning systems.

REMOTE SENSING & CLIMATE CHANGE2


in Retrospect and Prospect

The Thar desert of India presents over half a century-long history of

technological developments and their applica�on through a large program of

deser�fica�on which was public funded. In addi�on, a large number of rural

development programs comprising literacy, public health, roads and

communica�ons, employment genera�on and water security have helped in

making grey areas green. These efforts have improved the livelihoods of

smallholder farmers and also arrested migra�on. Nonetheless, all this has led

to overexploita�on of resources affec�ng adversely the development of the

region. Hence, �me is ripe for an introspec�on by reviewing efforts made in

the past and to define future Road map for inclusive growth and development

of our arid-region.

All issues of concern in the Thar desert and how effec�vely they have been

addressed are synthesized well in this book. It will serve as a very useful

document

Geodynamic process during the rapid growth of Himalaya has holis�c imprints of

Climate Change in this region. “Climate Change & Himalayan Informa�cs” is an

account of dedicated contribu�on for the above imprints. Impact of climate change

is examined in this book for the ongoing process of rapid urbaniza�on of the

hinterlands of Himalaya. It consists four sessions and seventeen chapters. Mass

balance of glaciers in Chandrabasin of Himalaya is presented as a predic�ve tool for

spa�ally distributed es�mates of mass balance of glaciers. An effec�ve tool to

iden�fy and locate mul�ple natural hazards due to climate change in

Himalayaespecially landslides and glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is part of the

book. Impacts of climate change on cropping strategies by mountain communi�es

are ascribed in the session “socio-economic perspec�ves”. Informa�on on

ecologically and economically important plant species in Himalaya that have greater

tolerance in drought, discussed in this book, is significant in the perspec�ves of

global warming. A specific species is iden�fied as an indicator of climate change for

Eastern Himalaya. Clima�c impacts on different regional eco systems of Himalaya

had implica�ons on ecological, cultural and socioeconomic process of the region.

Mul�dimensional decision support system is essen�al for mi�ga�on and adapta�on

for such implica�ons. Present book consists studies from north to eastern part of

“Climate Change & Himalayan ecosystem-indicator, Bio & water resources”

consists basic informa�on and data on glaciers, climate change indicators &

projec�ons, water resources and biodiversity hot spots of Mount Himalaya.

Studies on “Climate change and the recession pa� ern of the Glaciers in the

Himalaya” of this book concludes that “Possibility of the rivers in the

Himalayasdrying up as a consequence of rapid degenera�on of the glaciers is not

borne out by the past history”. In this book , study conducted in watershed of

Central Himalaya, a Decision Support System (DSS) is introduced as interac�ve tool

that understands the problem and explores various courses about water demand

and supply management to help decision makers. Himalayan foreland basin

deriva�ves hold records of clima�c changes in response to monsoonal circula�on.

In this study detrital records (11 to 5 Ma) of Ramgangasub-basin of HFBare focused

to understand the climate aspect during its deposi�on. Himalayan biodiversity

conserva�on is discussed in detail in this book. It infers that in Himalaya with the

current technological capability, it is very certain that the present species ex�nc�on

rate will overtake the biodiversity inventoriza�on and characteriza�on. Carbon

sequestra�on poten�al of the forests of Himalayais analyzed in this book. This book

has a detailed account of the al�tudinal shi�iness of bu� erflies due to

increase of air temperature at West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. Changes

in NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegeta�on Index) over a period of several years, is examined in this study to assess the changes caused

by climate or socioeconomic aspects. This book will be a hand book for researchers, students, environmentalist and to administrators

who are associated with mul� dimensional decision support system in Mountain ecosystem.

Climate Change Adaptation Strategiesin Agriculture and Allied Sectors

GSLHV Prasad Rao

Weather related disasters like occurrence of floods, droughts, heat wave

and cold waves is not uncommon across the Country. It is true world over.

Increase in sea surface temperature and sea level has poten�al impact

on monsoon uncertain�es, water resources, shi� in coastal popula�on

and marine products. Vulnerability to extreme weather events is higher

than vulnerability to changing average clima�c condi�ons. The society

linked sectors like agriculture, biodiversity, fisheries, forestry, water

resources, human and animal health and infrastructure are the worst

sufferers in the event of weather uncertain�es. As a result it is realized

that food security is under threat due to global warming. The book deals

with climate change impacts and adapta�on strategies in agriculture,

hor�culture, planta�on crops in the humid tropics, livestock, fisheries,

forestry, water resources and biodiversity. The invited and research

papers, included in the book, provide clues for developing adapta�on

and mi�ga�on strategies in coping up with the expected climate change

in future. Although global foodgrains produc�on is likely to increase in

tune with rising popula�on and demand in ensuing decades, it may

suffer unless new approaches to adapt crop plants to climate change are

hour to address the climate issues in various sectors as the frequency of occurrence of floods and droughts, cold and

heat waves are likely to increase under projected climate change scenarios and a threat to food security.
