Abstract
Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill sites in cities in developing nations are very dynamic in nature and generally encapsulated within densely populated areas, due to haphazard urbanization. Monitoring such sites is traditionally dependents on ground-based sample collections and tedious, time-consuming laboratory analysis. In this study, we demonstrate the potential of sensitive hyperspectral indices for generation of combined pollution risk assessment map exploiting next generation hyperspectral satellites at Bhalswa MSW landfill site in Delhi, India. In addition, the proposed integration of time-series risk maps in the conceptual framework of pollution monitoring dashboard would offer near real-time interactive assistance to the policy makers and stakeholders for informed decisions. Such a tailored approach for landfill pollution management would provide an economic, precise, and efficient tool to promote sustainability of the city within the context of global Sustainable Development Goals.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action.
Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers.
All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
