Abstract Land use and land cover (LULC) change has been one of the most immense perceptible transformations earth’s surface. Evaluating LULC at varied spatial scales is imperative in wide range perspectives such as environmental conservation, resource management, planning, sustainable development. This work aims to examine changes Kashmir valley between time periods from 1992–2001–2015 using a set compatible moderate resolution Landsat satellite imageries. Supervised approach with maximum...

Bangladesh has a long history of devastating tropical cyclones. In view the effects storms on country, risk assessment is essential for devising mitigation strategies at various levels. By way bringing conceptual structure general model in practice, this work aims to examine spatial patterns cyclone Cox's Bazar district (I) and Rohingya refugee camps (II) located southeastern coast Bangladesh. We use 14 parameters representing hazard, exposure, vulnerability as components risk. The selected...

Purpose Risk assessment is imperative for disaster risk reduction. The rooted to various physical, social, economic, demographic and environmental factors that determine the probable magnitude of loss during an extreme event. By way bringing a conceptual model into practice, this paper aims examine flood Srinagar city.

Abstract The frequency and severity of climatic extremes is expected to escalate in the future primarily because increasing greenhouse gas concentrations atmosphere. This study aims assess impact climate change on extreme temperature precipitation scenarios using indices Kashmir Himalaya. analysis has been carried out for twenty-first century under different representative concentration pathways (RCPs) through Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM) ClimPACT2. simulation reveals that region...

Floods have been recurrent phenomena in the study area. A heavy precipitation, usually coming during end months of summer season association with sudden cloudburst, leads to severe flooding By now catchment area river is already saturated and high run-off swells rivers beyond their capacity. The present describes application HEC RAS Model for flood studies Jhelum Kashmir valley. peak records were used as inputs into model find out resultant expected levels. output generated by shows an...

Studies aimed at reconstructing the chronology of historical floods in a region assume an important role flood hazard assessment, especially for prone regions like Kashmir Valley. This is usually done through review documents and/or palaeohydrological studies; latter allows access far beyond records. While as, archival scribes offer particularly valuable insights into attributes hydrological extremes recent past. The Valley has contours its own field hydrology, hitherto scattered across...

Landslides pose a serious risk to life and property in the mountainous regions around globe. Understanding interplay of landslide conditioning triggering factors is essential for lessening impacts caused by hazard. Cox's Bazar — coastal district Bangladesh recurrently affected rainfall-triggered landslides. Based on analysis 14 experiential landslides combination gauged satellite based rainfall estimates period from 2003 2019, present study determines three landslide-triggering thresholds:...
