  5. 4. An attempt to investigate the impact of 1994 Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda on landscape using remote sensing and GIS analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Maxime Rwaka; [2014]
    Keywords : Landsat TM and ETM ; NDVI; agricultural production and GDP; refugees; rainfall; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The 1994 Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda affected the society, as well as its surrounding environment. By the use of Remote Sensing and GIS, the study looked at the evidence of change to the landscape by looking at vegetation based on NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) To explain the reason behind the noticed change, the following parameters were used: • rainfall variations, • refugees and population number, • GDP and agricultural production.

  6. 5. Water scarcity-induced change in vegetation cover along Teesta River catchments in Bangladesh : NDVI, Tasseled Cap and System dynamics analysis

    University essay from Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Md. Azizur Rahman; [2013]
    Keywords : Water scarcity; vegetation cover change; NDVI; Tasseled Cap; System Dynamic Analysis; Teesta River catchments;

    Abstract : Water scarcity is both natural and man-made phenomenon. Water control and uneven distribution of upstream TeestaRiver water makes artificial scarcity in downstream areas which can be minimized at least to the water stress level by balancing distribution and sustainable water use.
