Shweta Pokhariyal, N. R. Patel and R. P. Singh “Detecting water stress in crops accurately is the basis of precision irrigation techniques and proximal remote sensing providing innovative and faster solutions to address sustainable water management” In era of World facing global issue of water scarcity on the rise, the need for precise irrigation scheduling has become critical for ensuring Continue Reading »

Current sensing technology operates within the electromagnetic spectrum, covering wavelengths ranging from tens of micrometers to meters. However, newer Remote Sensing (RS) instruments utilizing quantum sensing at the Nano to Femto scale are set to unveil internal structures of objects, necessitating a shift towards quantum spectral domain in Remote Sensing. Quantum remote sensing involves theories and methods that observe energy Continue Reading »

A study is carried out to identify the active forest fire in Uttarakahd state during April-May, 2024 using satellite images. A satellite image captures the response of the electromagnetic spectrum by various land features.  The spectral signature of forest fire spectral indicates that it has the highest reflectance in the Short Wave Infrared wavelength and at the same time there Continue Reading »

G.E. Hutchinson, a renowned ecologist, once remarked, "Field ecology labs are essential for budding ecologists. The lessons learned in a field ecology lab stay with students or young researchers forever. It is where they develop their critical thinking skills, observation prowess, and problem-solving abilities essential for any aspiring ecologist." This philosophy underpins the functioning of  Field Ecological Laboratory (FEL) at Continue Reading »

Can you name the dustiest planet in our Solar System? It is none other than our closest neighbour, Mars. This dust is responsible for its other names, ‘the Red Planet’ or ‘the Pigpen Planet’. Though the size of Mars is approximately half of that of our planet, but it has similar size of dry land as we have on Earth. Continue Reading »
