Remote sensing refers to the technique of capturing information at a distance (remotely) by specific instruments (sensors). Traditionally, remote sensing has been associated with satellites or manned aircraft with a set of airborne sensors. In the last decade, the increasing developments and improvements in unmanned platforms, together with the development of sensing technologies installed on drones, provide excellent opportunities for Continue Reading »

In February 2024, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launched the most advanced Earth-observation satellite namely PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem), for the better understanding of ocean productivity and the impact of global warming induced climate change. The mission carries a hyperspectral radiometer along with multi-angle polarimeters. The Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) is a hyperspectral imaging radiometer gives the Continue Reading »

Floods in Bihar are a common phenomenon during monsoon seasons starting from June to September. From the analysis of long term in-situ gauge data and historical satellite based observations it is well observed that June marks the onset of flooding which progressively increases in July and August months followed by a declining and progressive recession in flooding from mid-September. Gauge Continue Reading »

In March 2018, a large fissure suddenly appeared across the Nairobi-Narok highway near Mai Mahiu town in the southwestern part of Kenya. The alignment of the fissure closely along the eastern branch of the East African Rift (EAR) system led to a debate regarding its linkage with the rifting process, which is believed to split the African continent slowly. Widening Continue Reading »
