Application of Space-borne Data in Forest Fire Detection and Burnt Area Assessment
In order to provide satellite derived input for efficient forest fire management in India, comprehensive forest fire detection and monitoring system is developed by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO. Intra- and inter-seasonal spatio-temporal pattern of forest fires are monitored and analysed to derive regional and national level statistics for active fire locations, extent of area burnt...
Space Technology For Livelihood Support Of Fishermen Forecasting Potential Fishing Zones
India is one of the important marine fish producing countries. Conventionally, for profitable fish catch, fishermen have to spend a lot of time scouting the region using up precious fuel and time as the fish resources are affected by spatial and temporal nature of various environmental factors like temperature, availability of food, currents, wind etc. Due to limited visibility, fishing vessels ar...
Space based inputs for early warning of tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclones are one of the most destructive meteorological hazards that form in the warm oceans and affect the surrounding countries by causing huge loss to life and property. Inputs from satellite-based observations are efficient to monitor these cyclonic activities from genesis to dissipation.
