This conference will focus on the use of space technologies for hydrologic disasters & climate change research. ICAST will raise awareness on the applications of space-borne sensors for hydro-meteorologic extremes, water resources management and climate change studies. This conference will improve international collaboration on scientific and technical research on emerging issues of the...
This study uses Landsat TM of 1989 and ETM+ of 1999 and 2005 imagery to evaluate forest cover dynamics during 1989-2005 in the Bara district of Nepal. The aim of the study was to analyse the extent and trend of forest cover dynamics, spatial pattern of forest and their driving forces. Forest cover change analysis was performed using object-oriented classification approach applying a standard...
There are 106 boxes of Hodgon's Collection in the British Library in London, among which Box44 contains and interesting folio no. 12, mentioning names and points where each milestone stands and the distance from Kathmandu Hanumandhoka. These stones extend well into the west of the country.
Distances in Nepal are all measured from an exact point in Kathmandu in front of Kasthamandpapa, a...
Exploring the great wilderness of Alaska's Brooks Range was Robert Marshall's joy and delight during the decade between 1929 and 1939. Marshall traveled this spectacular country, from the Upper Koyukuk drainage to the Arctic Divide, making maps, recording scientific data, and exalting in the beauty of that incredibly pristine landscape. Although his early death at thirty-eight ended an...
The AAAS Atlas of Population and Environment is an important analysis of the relationships between human population and the environment. Illustrating through text, maps, and diagrams how population factors such as rates of growth, density, movement, and resource consumption, along with the use of certain technologies, affect the world's ecosystems and natural resources both in the short and...

This paper describes the remote sensing technique used to prepare a land cover map of Surkhang, Upper Mustang Nepal. The latest ASTER image (October 2002) and an ASTER DEM were used for the land cover classification. The study was carried out in Surkhang Village Development Committee (area 799 km2) of Upper Mustang region. The study area falls within the Annapurna Conservation Area...
The present paper describes land cover classification and habitat mapping for the Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang), also commonly known as kiang, in the Surkhang VDC, Upper Mustang, Nepal. Remote sensing techniques were applied for this classification, employing an ASTER satellite image from October 2002. The whole region was classified into six land cover types, relevant to the application of...
