    Abstract Channel dynamics is a significant geomorphological process that involves the channel migration, erosion-deposition and meandering of an alluvial river channel within its floodplain region. This geomorphic process is often accelerated by climatic condition and human activities which changes this natural process to a quasi-natural hazard. Current research work tries to evaluate the changing behaviour or dynamic nature of alluvial channel by enlightening average length and shape migration. Finally, state of the art techniques in Arc GIS has been adopted to prepare the mouza (village) wise erosion-deposition map by considering highly fluctuating mouzas of the Kaljani River and its adjacent village at the Himalayan foothill region. The primary data source was a series of time-sequential Landsat data of the years 1972, 1980, 1987, 1993, 1998, 2002, 2008, 2013, and 2019 spanning 47 years. Furthermore, we divided total study time into eight groups i.e. 1972–1980, 1980–1987, 1987–1993, 1993–1998, 1998–2002, 2002–2008, 2008–2013, and 2013–2019 for better understanding. During the study period (1972–2019) the average length of migration of the Kaljani River was 742.05 m and the annual rate was 15.79 m/year. Within this time frame of 1972–2019, the shape area migration of the channel was 66.79 km² and the annual rate was 1.42 km²/year. The total area of bank erosion from 1972 to 2019 equaled 62.74 km², out of which, 30.07 km² were on the right bank and 32.67 km² were at the left bank. Present analysis helps to enhance the effectiveness of planning and management of land resources and ecological balances in these 45 adjacent Mouzas of the Kaljani River. Among the various important causes, tectonic activity, rainfall, floods, and human intervention especially constriction of the embankment along the Kaljani River are the most significant causes for this dynamic changes of River Kaljani. The results of this study therefore, can be used as an important indicator of the vulnerability of the Kaljani River and also provides information about geomorphological instabilities of the study area.

    Abstract The ecosystem services in an area are quite dependent on its ambient land use and land cover (LULC) attributes. Here we assess the spatio-temporal distribution of Ecosystem Services Value (ESV) for the years 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, based on the then existing LULC aspects of the Kolkata Urban Agglomeration in eastern India. Further, these are simulated for 2030, 2040 and 2050 to determine the future potential ESV. The respective LULC layers were extracted from Landsat images using the support vector machine method and future projections were done using Markov Chain-Cellular Automata models. Results reveal that all LULC aspects are likely to significantly decrease except built-up tracts. The available ESV shall concomitantly decline by 29.7%, especially due to wetland loss. The ESV patterns also showed strong spatial correlation/clustering, with higher ESV patches locating along rivers/wetlands. These results can better inform management of high-value EVS components for sustaining/improving the urban environmental quality.

    Abstract The present study aims to identify the wastelands distribution, fragmentation pattern, and their clusters between 1991 and 2019 in the Korba district of Chhattisgarh. Multi-temporal Landsat satellite data were used to recognize the different classes of wastelands. The landscape fragmentation analysis of wasteland categories was performed through FRAGSTATS v.4.2 in patch analyst. Moran’s I and Getis–Ord (Gᵢ*) statistics were used to identify wasteland clusters and outlier analyses. Most of the wastelands were distributed in the east and north of the district, and there was a decreasing trend observed during the study period. Hotspot and outlier analysis demonstrate the existence of homogeneous and heterogeneous wasteland groups based on their spatial proximity and fragmentation pattern. The present research using satellite-based analysis of wasteland fragments could play a major role in verbalizing strategies for safeguarding native forest areas and degraded wasteland in the Korba district.
