Applications of GIS in Environment

Descripton:
Human activities and global warming are rapidly contributing to environmental degradation, decreasing glacier area, growth in glacial lake size, unprecedented rainfall, changes in land use and land cover, forest degradation, floods and glacial lake outburst floods, landslides, and shortfalls in agricultural crop production are among the many problems brought on by environmental changes. These issues need timely monitoring and supervision. Effective monitoring of the environment and an improved understanding of the same requires valuable information and data that can be extracted through application of geospatial technologies such as remote sensing and GIS.

In this Techtalk, We will learn how GIS can be used effectively in
1. Environmental Planning & Analysis in Environmental Applications.
2. Demonstration on How GIS can be used in Wildlife Management, Protection Operations, Agricultural Best Management Practices
