This study aims to examine the landscape transformation and temperature dynamics using multiple spectral indices. The processes of temporal fluctuations in land surface is strongly related morphological features area which determined, given factors significantly affect thermal properties surface. research being conducted Pakistan identify vegetation cover, water bodies, impervious surfaces, decadal remote sensing data with four intervals during 1993–2023 Mardan division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. To analyze dynamics, used indices including Land Surface Temperature, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Water Built-up Bareness Index by employing Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform. results suggest that there are differences type temperature, ranging from 15.58 °C 43.71 period.

ABSTRACT Climate change significantly impacts natural hydrological systems worldwide, affecting water availability and sedimentation dynamics. The upper Indus Basin is one of the most crucial basins in South Asia, which undergoing severe climatic variations, resulting extreme flooding. This study examines impact climate on cycle, availability, dynamics Shyok River basin Karakoram region. focuses investigating increasing outflows a seasonal basis, as found previous studies, by utilising daily river discharge data between 2003 2014 at Yugo hydrographic station operated WAPDA with geographic information (GIS), SWAT+ (Soil Water Assessment Tool), remote sensing, statistical techniques.

Abstract This paper modelled the sustainable land management programme intervention effect on soil loss rate in Hoha and Temba watersheds, Western Ethiopia. In area, (SLMP) has been doing many soil–water conservation measurements since 2011. However, an assessment of before after implementation project not yet conducted area because operational issues high costs gathering on‐ground data. Because this, we have developed a Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) framework fully integrated with geographic information system (GIS) for spatial resolution (30 m) erosion 2010 (before SLMP was implemented area) 2015 2021 (after area).
