Quantification of land use and land cover in a Monsoon agricultural mosaic from space
Land use and land cover (LULC) are fundamental elements of the global ecosystem and LULC changes are key aspects of global change. Information on LULC is essential in a wide range of research fields, including environmental science, ecosystem services, and environmental decision making. The quality …

A Deep Learning Framework for Investigating Spatio-temporal Evolution of Land Use and Land Cover Patterns
… the changes in urban Land-use and Land-cover (LULC) patterns. At present, the understanding of the spatio-temporal evolution of LULC patterns is heavily constrained by the lack of efficient and precise methods of mapping and predicting LULC changes, particularly for the areas that have few …

Understanding the relationship between land use/land cover and malaria in Nepal
… and morbidity globally. Land use/land cover (LULC) change have been found to affect the transmission and distribution of malaria in other regions, but no study has attempted to examine such relationships in Nepal. Therefore, this study was conducted in Nepal to assess LULC change between 2000 …

Changes In Fish Communties Throughout The Buck Creek Watershed In Relation To Land Use
… are related to changes in land use/land cover (LULC) proportions from 1983, 2010, and 2020. LULC proportions were determined using GIS at a local and sub-watershed scale to discern (1) changes in fish communities relative to LULC between 1983 and 2012, (2) sub-watersheds for reintroduction of E. …

Application of Remote Sensing and GIS in Monitoring Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Nandoni Dam Basin
Land use activities and land cover (LULC) changes have been widely acknowledged as the main drivers of environmental change at all spatial-temporal scales in some South African dam basins. The consequence of these land use activities causes encroachments, land cover changes, sediment deposits, …

Simulating the Impacts of Land-Use Land-Cover Changes on Cropland Carbon Fluxes in the Midwest of the United States
… found that agricultural land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes, such as changes in cropland production technologies, tillage practices, and planted crop species, could have large impacts on carbon fluxes. However, the impacts remain highly uncertain at regional to global scales. Satellite remote …

Detecting and predicting land use and land cover change in the cross-sanaga-bioko coastal forest region for sustainable forest management
… Engine and ArcGIS Pro) and remote sensing data (LULC maps and digital elevation models) in the CSB region. Land use and land cover (LULC) changes in forested regions are critical indicators of environmental transformation, contributing to deforestation, forest degradation, and biodiversity loss, …

Distributional Modeling Of Rare Fishes And Mussels: From Ecological Theory To Biodiversity Conservation
… were used, including: land use/land cover (LULC) pattern, LULC composition, soil composition, and geology composition. The study showed that LULC pattern metrics are very useful in modeling the distribution of Rabbitsfoot. Together with LULC compositional metrics, pattern metrics permitted a …

Assessment of Watershed Condition and Vulnerability to Forecasted Land-Use/Land-Cover Change in the Northwestern Great Plains of Western South Dakota
… watershed vulnerability to land-use/landcover (LULC) change under multiple scenarios of future development. We used U.S. EPA’s Analytical Tools Interface for Landscape Assessment (ATtILA) to analyze landscape spatial data to determine the condition of wadeable, perennial stream watersheds in the …

Regional summer climate variability and change over North America in the 20th Century
… gases (GHG) and Land Use/Land Cover Change (LULC). The objective of this thesis is to quantify the relative impacts that these two anthropogenic forcings have had on summer climate over North America in the course of the 20th century. Simulations are conducted spanning the full 20th century …

Effect of Earthquake and Human Migration on Land Cover and Mass Wasting from The 2010 Haiti Earthquake
… frequency by comparing land use and land cover (LULC) maps of pre- and post-earthquake. To assess the impact of anthropogenic activities, we employed a maximum likelihood method to produce LULC maps from Landsat images for the dry seasons from 2002 to 2015 over the span of 2 or 3 years. Landslide …

Impacts of land use land cover changes in mountainous catchments – a case study of Klaserie Catchment, Mariepskop Mountain
Land use and land cover (LULC) change remains a central driver of ecological transformation, particularly in semi-arid mountainous catchments where terrain complexity, limited data availability, and climate variability intersect with increasing human population and activity. This study examines the …

Use of Lidar Data to Investigate the Influence of Bottom Friction Coefficients for Storm Surge Modeling of Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle
… typically uses local land use land cover (LULC) maps coupled with lookup tables to parameterize surface roughness because the process is defensible and easily automated at the regional scale. However, this is not a truly accurate method since LULC data is generalized for an area and often …

The Impact of Climate Variability and Land Cover Change on Groundwater Resources in The Niger River Basin
… change of the land use and land cover (LULC) with increasing population over the years. The present study is to understand the hydrological dynamics of NRB by using a water balance modeling approach with the seasonal variation of precipitation and LULC over the period from 2001 to 2013. …

Agricultural practices and perceptions of climate change in Keur Samba Guéye village, Senegal, West Africa
… documented changes in land use/land cover (LULC) from 1989 to 2011, and assessed farmers\' perceptions of climate change and their responses to such changes. To document climate trends and LULC, I analyzed climate data of twelve meteorological stations located across the country and created …

Satellite-based assessment of invasive vegetation in Lake Chad Basin, West Africa
… and students in 2009. Land Use Land Change (LULC) classification was carried out using Landsat and MODIS Imagery. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was generated for every year from 2000 to 2010 on MOD13GQ and for every month in 2009. MOD13GQ is a product of MODIS. Simultaneously, …

Application of deep learning to land cover classification: practical issues and strategies
Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change is a process of essential importance to urban studies and planning. Large-scale databases provide comprehensive records, but in many circumstances, they need to be supplemented or substituted by alternative data sources. The advent of deep learning provides an …
