Abstract:
Earth observation satellites (EOS) such as Landsat provide image datasets that can be immensely useful in numerous application domains. One way of analyzing satellite images for land use and land cover change (LULCC) is time series analysis (TSA). Several algorithms for time series analysis have been proposed by various groups in remote sensing; more algorithms (that can be adapted) are available in the general time series literature. However, in spite of an abundance of algorithms, the choice of algorithm to be used for analyzing an image stack is presently an open question. A concurrent is

Current global population growth and economic development accelerates the land cover conversion in many parts of the world and compromises the natural environment.

The Western Cape Province is currently faced with population growth, declining household sizes, increasing household numbers, high levels of migration, urbanization and escalating development pressures. These factors have consequently triggered changes in land use and land cover (LULC) and incited issues such as urban sprawl, marginalization of the poor, limited public access to resources, land degradation and climate change. Furthermore, the issues surrounding LULC in the Province emanate from past inequities in access to land coupled with unsustainable land use practices. This poses a challe

Land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics are an integral component of global change. In this thesis, various approaches were developed to unravel the complexity of LULC classification and the subsequent application of the multi-temporal LULC data for land change modelling. This complexity is particularly relevant in this study, whereby the available multi-temporal remote Landsat images are noisy and of relatively low spatial resolution. First, a semi-automated object-based method using rulesets and supervised classification was developed. This method was applied to the multi-temporal Landsat im

Modification of land use/land cover in South Florida has posed a major challenge in the region’s eco-hydrology by shifting the surface-atmosphere water and energy balance.

Abstract:
Construction of land use and land cover (LULC) maps was accomplished through the use of remote sensing and GIS. Remote sensing and GIS were used to classify 1990 Landsat 5 and 2000 Landsat 7 Mississippi Gulf Coast imagery into six LULC classes: urban, barren, forested vegetation, non-forested vegetation, marsh, and water. An accuracy assessment was performed on the 2000 LULC map to determine the reliability of the map. Finally, GIS software was used to quantify and illustrate the various LULC conversions that took place over the ten year span of time. The paper concludes that remote sensing an

Abstract:
Buruli ulcer (BU) is an environmental bacterium caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. Modes of transmission and hosts of the disease remain unknown. The purposes of this study are to explore the environmental factors that are possibly explain the spatial distribution of BU, to predict BU cases by using the environmental factors, and to investigate the impact of land use and land cover change on the BU distribution. The study area covers the southwest portion of Ghana, 74 districts in 6 regions. The results show that the highest endemic areas occur in the center and expand to the southern portion o
