Abstract

Coastal areas are increasingly susceptible to frequent cyclones driven by climate change. This leads to severe flooding, habitat loss, economic damage and community displacement, necessitating urgent adaptation measures. In this context, the present study aims to assess the impact of tropical cyclone Yaas on the coastal districts of Odisha and West Bengal combining SAR and optical satellite data. The Sentinel-1 data was used for flood inundation analysis, allowing for the identification and mapping of areas affected by the cyclonic flooding. In addition, Sentinel-2 data was employed for land use and land cover (LULC) analysis, enabling the evaluation of the cyclone's impact on various land cover classes. A fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to analyse the changes in forest canopy cover. By integrating these diverse datasets and analyses, the study provides a holistic understanding of the cyclone's impact on the coastal region's environment and land cover. The findings reveal that the Yaas cyclonic flood affected an area of 2528.70 sq. km, accounting for 6.8% of the total region. In the coastal areas of West Bengal, more than 24% of cropland was affected particularly in the districts of Purba Medinipur, North 24 Parganas, Hoogly, Howrah and South 24 Parganas. In Odisha state, the most affected cropland areas were Bhadrak (945.11 sq. km) and Kendrapara (557.90 sq. km), while the districts of Bhadrak, Balasore, Jajpur, Khordha and Cuttack experienced the greatest impact on built-up areas. The findings of this comprehensive study contribute to a deeper understanding of the magnitude and extent of tropical cyclone Yaas's impacts. This study can be useful for the development of effective mitigation and adaptation strategies that is, restoration of mangrove forests, introduction of salt-tolerant crops and upgrading of existing embankments and levees to enhance the resilience of the coastal communities.

热带气旋Yaas对印度奥里萨邦和西孟加拉邦沿海地区的影响:使用哨兵数据集的评估
沿海地区越来越容易受到气候变化导致的频繁飓风的影响。这导致了严重的洪水、栖息地丧失、经济损失和社区流离失所,需要采取紧急适应措施。在这种情况下,本研究旨在结合SAR和光学卫星数据评估热带气旋Yaas对Odisha和West Bengal沿海地区的影响。Sentinel-1的数据被用于洪水泛滥分析,从而可以识别和绘制受气旋洪水影响的地区。此外,Sentinel-2数据被用于土地利用和土地覆盖(LULC)分析,从而能够评估气旋对各种土地覆盖类别的影响。采用模糊层次分析法(AHP)对森林冠层覆盖变化进行了分析。通过整合这些不同的数据集和分析,该研究全面了解了气旋对沿海地区环境和土地覆盖的影响。结果表明,雅斯气旋洪水影响面积为2528.70平方公里。Km,占总面积的6.8%。在西孟加拉邦的沿海地区,超过24%的农田受到影响,特别是在Purba Medinipur、North 24 Parganas、Hoogly、Howrah和South 24 Parganas地区。在奥里萨邦,受影响最严重的农田是巴德拉克(945.11平方公里)。肯德拉帕拉(557.90平方公里)。而Bhadrak、Balasore、Jajpur、Khordha和Cuttack地区对建成区的影响最大。这项综合研究的结果有助于更深入地了解热带气旋Yaas影响的大小和范围。这项研究有助于制定有效的缓解和适应战略,即恢复红树林、引进耐盐作物和升级现有的堤防和防洪堤,以增强沿海社区的复原力。

期刊介绍: In recent years there has been a growth of specialist journals within geological sciences. Nevertheless, there is an important role for a journal of an interdisciplinary kind. Traditionally, GEOLOGICAL JOURNAL has been such a journal and continues in its aim of promoting interest in all branches of the Geological Sciences, through publication of original research papers and review articles. The journal publishes Special Issues with a common theme or regional coverage e.g. Chinese Dinosaurs; Tectonics of the Eastern Mediterranean, Triassic basins of the Central and North Atlantic Borderlands). These are extensively cited. The Journal has a particular interest in publishing papers on regional case studies from any global locality which have conclusions of general interest. Such papers may emphasize aspects across the full spectrum of geological sciences.
