Using remote sensing data and Geographical Information System (GIS) methods, this study tries to anticipate the optimal urban expansion areas in Erbil city. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) concept was used to create a map of urban expansion. Several social, economic, environmental, utility and physical characteristics including land cover, roads, slope, aspect, elevation, soil texture, p

In paleo-glacial reconstructions, a critical geomorphological context is provided for determining glacial chronologies. The study provides a detailed geomorphological mapping and investigation of the Nehnar valley, NW Himalayas, Jammu and Kashmir, India. To map the glacio- g

Optimal road alignment in the hilly region is challenging and mandates geospatial analysis that involves topographic and environmental parameters like slope, soil stability, forest cutting and obstruction to drainage. In this study, a multi-objective approach is p

Fires at several shopping malls prove that the safety measures in the shopping center are not at standard level. This study aimed to assess the fire hazard vulnerability of shopping centers in Rangpur City Co

From the past earthquake patterns, the increase in the number of earthquakes in southern peninsular India can be observed. The increasing number of earthquakes is one of the critical reasons for shifting Chennai from zone II (least active) to zone III (moderately acti
