GI3007 REMOTE SENSING AND GIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3 0 0 3
OBJECTVE:
The objective of this course is to expose the students to the applications of Remote
Sensing and GIS for water quality assessment, soil degradation assessment and
monitoring pollution.
UNIT I WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT 10
Sources and demands of water - Characteristics of water- Point and non-point sources
of water pollution – Spectral responses of clear and contaminated water – chlorophyllbiota-
Remote Sensing of Water quality assessment - Runoff estimation- flood prediction
modeling.
65
UNIT II SOIL CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT 12
Formation of Soils - land forms – soil erosion –factors influencing soil erosion, soil
contamination- distribution and accumulation of contaminants such as toxic metals,
synthetic chemicals in soil- disposal of solid waste - mining pollution- methods of
conservation-afforestation- EMR responses with contaminated soil – modeling soil
characteristics using satellite data- – soil degradation assessment using Remote
Sensing and GIS. Land reclamation.
UNIT III ECOLOGY AND ECOSYSTEM 8
Conservation and resource management – spectral reflectance from vegetated surface
– Stress monitoring – Land cover and Land use mapping - forest conservation –
Biodiversity –biomonitoring of the environment - wild life studies – monitoring non point
source pollution.
UNIT IV SENSORS AND DATA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 5
Sensors for environmental monitoring – LIDARS- LASER Remote Sensing -visible and
outside visible wave length –absorption spectrometers – selection of ground truth sites –
sea truth observation – Radar techniques for sensing ocean surface – thermal
measurements – application of remote sensing for oil slicks mapping – Chlorophyll
detection – Fisheries resources – Coastal marine studies – determination of temperature and
sea state.
UNIT V AIR POLLUTION AND GLOBAL CLIMATOLOGY 10
Air Pollutants- Dispersion modeling -Air quality monitoring – case studies –
climatology – emissivity characteristics – measurements of atmospheric temperature –
composition – constituent distribution and concentration – wind flows and air circulation
– Hurricane tracking – meteorological satellite systems.
