This study addresses these challenges by applying a comprehensive approach to prioritize intervention areas, thus enhancing erosion management efficiency in the Devgadh Baria Watershed (DBW) in Gujarat, India. The primary objective is to systematically prioritize sub-watersheds (SWs) through geomorphometric and LULC analyses and propose appropriate SWC measures for high-priority areas. Utilizing remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS) techniques, the study delineates SWs and assesses their vulnerability using seven distinct morphometric parameters and LULC classes, including agricultural land, forest, wasteland, and built-up areas. The combined analysis integrates these parameters to produce compound values for all 30 SWs, resulting in a refined priority ranking. SW26, initially very high priority in morphometric analysis due to steep slopes and minimal drainage density, shifted to medium priority in the combined analysis, reflecting effective agricultural management practices that reduce erosion. Conversely, SW7 remained a very high priority across both analyses, indicating consistent high erosion risk due to a significant built-up area and limited forest cover. SW30 shifted from high to medium priority, influenced by balanced agricultural activities and lower slopes. SWs 6 and 24 transitioned from very high to medium priority, while SW22 remained high, supported by moderate forest cover and beneficial soil types mitigating erosion. This research underscores the scientific importance of integrating morphometric and LULC analyses for precise SW prioritization. The combined approach enhances erosion risk assessments and supports targeted SWC strategies, crucial for effective watershed management in semi-arid regions. The findings provide actionable insights that align with global sustainability goals, contributing to improved soil conservation and water resource management.</p>","PeriodicalId":17510,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs a cutting-edge machine learning approach to predict the suitability of archaeological sites in the region, marking a significant evolution in the documentation of such sites. Machine learning-based integration of 12 geoenvironmental datasets using a random forest model reveals a nuanced spatial distribution of potential archaeological sites, categorised into four suitability zones: high, moderately high, moderately low, and low. The region with the best-anticipated suitability comprises around 20.33% of the research area, whereas the area with the lowest expected suitability comprises nearly 41.81%. High suitability zones, characterised by gentle terrain, open vegetation, fertile soils, and water proximity, suggest conditions conducive to human habitation and archaeological preservation. Conversely, low suitability zones exhibit rugged terrain, dense vegetation, poor soil quality, limited water availability, and remoteness from natural resources, indicating potential hindrances to human occupation and archaeological preservation. The model exhibited high predictive accuracy, as evidenced by the ROC–AUC score of 88.3%, enhancing its reliability. Specific locations within the study area demonstrate varying degrees of suitability, providing valuable insights for archaeological site management, cultural heritage preservation, and land-use planning, which will support the restoration and conservation plan of the heritage sites.

M<sup>3</sup> analyses indicate that the mare region dominates the clinopyroxene and represents the basaltic nature. The southern part of the crater floor exhibits enhanced FeO (11–15 wt%) and TiO<sub>2</sub> (2–5 wt%) percentages, indicating mare basalt material in conjunction with the spectral data. We observed intense mass-wasting features, various small-scale tectonic and volcanic structures on the crater walls and floor. We found lobate scarps near the mare basalts; however, the thickness of the mare basalts is low; therefore, there was not much subsidence and contraction produced by the mare basalts. As a result, the lobate scarps in the mare basalts of Aitken were probably caused by the Moon's thermal contraction. The GRAIL gravity anomalies indicate the existence of deep-seated subsurface material (i.e., magmatism that caused the mare to form on the crater floor) and a thick crust (30–40 km). Based on these integrated (compositional, morphological, and gravity) observations, we conclude that the floor of the crater is probably volcanic in origin, and the walls of the crater formed due to the impact melt crystallization. The wrinkle ridges that cut across minor impact craters and volcanic domes, horseshoe-shaped depressions, lobate scarps, and well-preserved dome structures indicate crater modification in later stages due to volcanic and tectonic activity. The eruptive activity in Aitken most likely began with an explosive cone-building stage, continued with lava eruptions from cones and fissures, and ended with a drain limited to the relatively deep lava ponded in the vents.

In this study, two approaches were attempted to estimate the in-season <i>kharif</i> sown area by the end of August using EOS-04 (RISAT-1A) data. Approach 1 utilizes the Coefficient of Variation (CV) of temporal Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter, while Approach 2 integrates optical data with the CV of SAR backscatter. The algorithm based on the temporal CV suggested that the variability of backscatter values over time, captured through temporal analysis, can be a key factor in identifying and delineating cropland areas. The CV of temporal HV backscatter data serves as an indicator of changes in vegetation cover or crop growth stages. In this study, CV values for settlement, forest, and fallow areas were observed to be 0.18, 0.17, and 0.19, respectively, while crops exhibited higher CV values of more than 0.4, which can be attributed to active crop growth. CV threshold optimization was carried out using Youden’s J Score statistical method. The optimal CV threshold value was observed to be 0.3, computed based on the temporal HV backscatter data from four study districts, which was further validated over two other districts. Accuracies of around 80% were achieved in both test and validation districts using the SAR only approach. Integration of optical data with SAR data led to improved overall accuracies, ranging from 85 to 89% in all test and validation districts. The findings suggest that CV analysis of backscatter values, complemented with optical data, can be a valuable tool for early discrimination between different land cover features, with croplands standing out due to their higher CV values attributed to the dynamic nature of crop growth.
