Abstract Increasing population size and economic dependence on the coastal zone, coupled with growing need for residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial green space infrastructure, are key drivers of land reclamation. Until now, there has been no comprehensive assessment global distribution use reclaimed at coast. Here, we analyze Landsat satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020 quantify spatial extent, scale, urban reclamation 135 cities populations in excess 1 million. Findings indicate...
This paper analyses the spatio-temporal trends and variability in annual, seasonal, monthly rainfall with corresponding rainy days Bhilangana river basin, Uttarakhand Himalaya, based on stations two gridded products. Station-based data were obtained from India Meteorological Department (IMD) for period 1983 to 2008 applied, along daily products establish temporal changes spatial associations study area. Due lack of more recent ground station measurements then used 2009 2018. The shows all...
Although coastal aquaculture ponds provide high-quality fish protein for billions of people, they are threatened by urbanization, pollution, and climate change. Moreover, colossal pose damages such as natural wetland shrinkage water quality deterioration. However, understanding the trends drivers on a national scale remains challenge. In this study, decision-tree classifier was used to quantify spatiotemporal distribution over last 30 years in 12 provinces located coast China. we analyzed...
Abstract Offshore wind farms are widely adopted by coastal countries to obtain clean and green energy; their environmental impact has gained an increasing amount of attention. Although offshore farm datasets commercially available via energy industries, records the exact spatial distribution individual turbines construction trajectories rather incomplete, especially at global level. Here, we construct a remote sensing-based turbine (OWT) database derived from Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture...
Research on the Himalayan cryosphere has increasingly focused climate change, considering aspects such as snow cover dynamics, precipitation and temperature trends. The Uttarakhand Himalaya is hydrologically very significant a more comprehensive understanding of its response to change needed. This paper analyses elevation-dependent distribution trends in snow-covered area (SCA), for period 2000–2020 employing MODIS-Terra data, together with reanalysis (CHIRPS) Landsat-8 data products within...
Many leading countries are boosting renewables, especially solar energy, as a major way to mitigate future energy crises and climate change. Particularly, in China, the number scale of photovoltaic (PV) power stations have grown unprecedentedly last decade. There is an urgent need monitor PV development order accurately estimate national renewable potentials understand ecological impacts. However, there few efforts towards providing spatially explicit time-series datasets at regional scales....
In the marine environment, greening of grey infrastructure (GGI) is a rapidly growing field that attempts to encourage native life colonize artificial structures enhance biodiversity, thereby promoting ecosystem functioning and hence service provision. By designing multifunctional sea defences, breakwaters, port complexes off-shore renewable energy installations, these can yield myriad environmental benefits, in particular, addressing UN SDG 14: Life below water. Whilst GGI has shown great...
Increasing demand for land resources at the coast has exerted immense pressure on vulnerable environments. Population and economic growth in coastal cities have combined to produce a scarcity of suitable space development, response which frequently been reclamation from sea, most prominently China. Urbanization is key driver such changes detailed investigation city scale required. This study analyzed remote sensing imagery period 1990 2018 explore trajectories nine major urban agglomerations...
Prestige reclamation is defined as coastal carried out for the purpose of high-end real estate development and luxury recreation. The planiforms these reclamations are often highly complex ideograms, showcasing investor’s wealthand maximising number waterfront properties. Over time, increasingly elaborate designs being built, leading to ever more coasts which wider impact coast poorly understood. As constructions becoming common, we raise a series critical questions on...
Abstract As global maritime traffic increases, seaports grow to accommodate and compete for higher volumes of trade throughput. However, growth trajectories seaport footprints around the world have gone unmeasured, likely because a lack readily available spatio-temporal data. Here, we use geospatial analysis satellite imagery from 1990–2020 show that 65 among world’s top 100 container ports, as ranked by reported throughput, been expanding rapidly seaward. Collectively, these added...
The basins containing rivers and wetlands are very significant to the surrounding dwellers in various ways, altogether aiming at boosting economy for most developing countries. Unfortunately, benefits frequently overlooked lead basin mismanagement degradation posed by increasing population. This study used population satellite data quantify extent of land-use land-cover changes along Msimbazi valley between 1990 2019. Geographic information system remote sensing techniques were analysis...
