Geospatial and Google Earth Engine-based assessment of land use and land cover dynamics and its impacts on ecosystem health and biodiversity in the Bale Mountains, Ethiopia

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Land Use and Land Cover Change Effects on Eco- Hydroclimatic Conditions in Kiambu County, Kenya

Increasing land-use transitions are major drivers of eco-hydroclimatic changes, particularly in rapidly growing urban areas. This study therefore sought to assess the spatiotemporal effects of land use changes on eco-hydroclimatic conditions in Kiambu County, utilizing remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems...

Monitoring seasonal and long-term forest canopy dynamics using Sentinel-2 imagery and Random Forest on the Google Earth Engine platform

Understanding forest canopy dynamics is critical for assessing the condition, resilience, and conservation priorities of protected landscapes. This study evaluated the spatiotemporal and seasonal variation in mapped forest canopy density within the Orchha Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh, India, using multi-seasonal...

Mapping and Monitoring Seasonal Wetland Dynamics of Koonthankulam Ramsar Site Using Sentinel-2 Imagery and Random Forest Classification on Google Earth Engine

Wetlands provide indispensable ecological, hydrological and socio-economic services, yet remain among the most rapidly altered ecosystems worldwide due to encroaching agriculture, urbanisation and hydrological disruption. This study presents a cloud-based, multi-temporal assessment of Koonthankulam, a Ramsar-designated...

GEOAI-BASED SPATIOTEMPORAL ASSESSMENT OF SURFACE URBAN HEAT ISLAND DYNAMICS AND LAND COVER CHANGE USING GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE: EVIDENCE FROM MANADO CITY, INDONESIA

Rapid urbanization has significantly transformed land cover patterns and intensified the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) phenomenon in many tropical cities, posing increasing environmental and public health challenges. However, comprehensive long-term assessments integrating land cover dynamics, land surface temperatu...

Multi-temporal remote sensing of vegetation dynamics using Sentinel-2 and Google Earth Engine

Wetland vegetation dynamics and its linkage with climatic, hydrological, and land-use/ land cover changes in the Foket floodplain of the Fetam River Watershed, Northwestern Ethiopia

Timely monitoring of wetland changes is vital for effective conservation and management of the landscape. This study, therefore, examines vegetation dynamics and their climatic, hydrological, and land-use drivers in the Foket floodplain wetland, Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia. The LULC analysis was employed based on 1...
