Dipanwita Haldar and Suresh Kumar Medium resolution SCANSAR (MRS) data 18m pixel spacing has served as work horse for field crop monitoring during 2012-2016 during RISAT-1 timeframe and 2022 onwards in RISAT-1A particularly for predominant kharif crops’s monitoring. This dataset is being systematically acquired over the entire Indian subcontinent in descending node. During the overcast sky in the northern India, Continue Reading »

Manu Mehta and Akhilesh Kumar Estimating atmospheric aerosol levels is crucial for accurate radiative forcing calculations, understanding aerosol effects on cloud formation, assessing human health impacts, and planning pollution control. Continuous monitoring of aerosols in both space and time is essential to understand its effects in human life. Ground-based networks like AERONET and ARFINET use instruments such as sun-photometers and Continue Reading »

Remote sensing has become an indispensable tool for various applications, including environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management, and many more. With the increasing availability of high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, there is a pressing need for advanced image analysis techniques. Traditionally, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have dominated the field of computer vision; however, vision transformers (ViTs) have emerged as Continue Reading »

Life of earth is linked to availability of water and rivers provides water to sustain the human civilization. Ganga river is one of the longest river in India and  is associated with sediment transport and meandering. Ganga river originate in the Himalayas, and it carries lot of sediments. Sediment deposition prevent  any river from flowing straight and cause meander. Gandak Continue Reading »

Mamta Chauhan, Saswati Panda, Ankita Gaur, R.P. Singh and R. S. Chatterjee Raman spectroscopy is an analytical technique to identify mineral, rocks and detect associated organic compounds. This technique is based on the phenomenon of raman effect which causes frequency difference between the incident and the fraction of scattered light. It is inelastic scattering of light by matter in which Continue Reading »
