Relationship between the variations in glacier features classified on a large scale with climate variables: a case study of Gangotri Glacier.

Changes in glacier area, glacial lakes, debris cover, and geomorphological features such as debris fans have a significant impact on glacial dynamics. Therefore, precise and timely observation and tracking of glacier surface changes is a necessity. The availability of high spatial resolution remote sensing images has made it viable to analyse the glacier surface changes at a local level.

Multi-temporal SAR Interferometry (MTInSAR)-based study of surface subsidence and its impact on Krishna Godavari (KG) basin in India: a support vector approach.

The surface subsidence in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin in India has increased with the discovery of crude oil and natural gas reserves since 1983. With private players coming up to bag the exploration and refining contracts, there must be timely monitoring of the surface subsidence of the region so that remedial measures for the resettlement of the populations can be taken promptly. Regular monitoring is necessary since the region is fertile and any seawater ingress results in the loss of valuable cultivable land.

Spaceborne C-band SAR remote sensing-based flood mapping and runoff estimation for 2019 flood scenario in Rupnagar, Punjab, India.

Floods are one of the most disastrous and dangerous catastrophes faced by humanity for ages. Though mostly deemed a natural phenomenon, floods can be anthropogenic and can be equally devastating in modern times. Remote sensing with its non-evasive data availability and high temporal resolution stands unparalleled for flood mapping and modelling.
