Abstract

The world is encountering fast land use land cover (LULC) changes because of several socioeconomic activities and natural phenomena. Detecting and monitoring changes on the Earth’s surface are vital to predict and avoid land degradation and improve the land rehabilitation process. The objective of this work is to gain a quantitative analysis of LULC changes in Madurai (3742 km2), Tamil Nadu, India, using the normalized difference vegetation ...
