The findings by IIT-Bombay are significant given the emphasis on afforestation, especially in India, and the country’s net-zero ambitions.
In agricultural and remote sensing research, the precise estimation of Wheat's Leaf Area Index (LAI) through the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-derived multispectral data is crucial for effectively monitoring crop health and growth.
Bushfire fuel hazard is determined by the type, amount, density and three-dimensional distribution of plant biomass and litter. The fuel hazard represents a biological control on fire danger and may change in the future with plant growth patterns. Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) stimulates plant productivity (‘fertilisation effect’) but also alters climate, leading to a ‘climatic effect’. Both effects have impacts on future vegetation and thus fuel hazard. Quantifying these effects is an important component of predicting future fire regimes and evaluating fire management opti...
LAHORE: Water shortage is on the rise in the country as the ratio of availability of per capita water has come down...
Nasa recently took an open-science initiative called the Earth Information System (EIS) Freshwater, and among its various components (wildfire hydrology, risk of flooding, water security, AI application), it is looking into the flooding impact of climate change and human activities in the Bengal delta, which includes the country of Bangladesh.
