Since December 2019, the world has witnessed stringent effect of an unprecedented global pandemic, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As January 29,2021, there have been 100,819,363 confirmed cases and 2,176,159 deaths reported. Among countries affected severely COVID-19, United States tops list. Research conducted to discuss causal associations between explanatory factors COVID-19 transmission in contiguous States. However, most...
Drastic changes in land use pattern recent times has translated into severe alteration of urban surface temperatures, whereby the increase impervious surfaces results modification thermal structure city and consequently leads to problem Urban Heat Island. Conversely, creation green within reduces temperature forms a cooling effect. The present study investigates impact shape, pattern, configuration two dominant use/land cover classes (built-up surface) on Land Surface Temperature (LST)...
Abstract Climate change affects Indian agriculture, which depends heavily on the spatiotemporal distribution of monsoon rainfall. Despite nonlinear relationship between crop yield and rainfall, little is known about optimal rainfall threshold, particularly for rice. Here, we investigate responses rice to in India by analyzing historical production statistics climate data from 1990 2017. Results show that excessive deficit reduces 33.7% 19%, respectively. The overall threshold nationwide 1621...
Rapid urbanization is often responsible for the degradation of urban eco-environmental quality (UEQ), which comprised ecological, environmental and anthropogenic components. Hence, frequently monitoring tracking UEQ sustainable cities communities recommendable. This study, attempted to compare three rapidly growing Indian metros/megacities – Ahmedabad, Hyderabad Bangalore. A remote sensing-based composite index, namely ‘urban index’ (UEQI), was constructed by utilizing Landsat 5 (TM), 8...
This paper quantitatively analyzes the spatial heterogeneity of district‐level correlates open defecation in rural India. We employ standard non‐spatial regression, spatially explicit regressions and multi‐scale geographically weighted regression to compare stability measurable across these different methods as well analyzed units. Attributes like ownership household assets, drinking water inaccessibility prevalent literacy rates were identified most stable defecation. Our results also...
This study explored the association between five key air pollutants (Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur (SO2), Particulate Matter (PM2.5, PM10), and Carbon Monoxide (CO)) COVID-19 incidences in India. The confirmed cases, pollution concentration meteorological variables (temperature, wind speed, surface pressure) for district city scale were obtained 2019 2020. location-based observations converted to a raster using interpolation. deaths positive cases are reported so far found highest Mumbai...
Abstract Background: Sanitation interventions often fail in meeting the desired expectations. A prominent reason is ecological nature of sanitation phenomena that inherently associates with its high dependence on contextual specifics. This also constrains generalization research findings this domain and substantiates need to supplement most prevalent micro-level evidence wider population-level (ecological) studies. paper thus provides first quantitative analysis spatial heterogeneity...
