ABSTRACT

The South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan) has a staggering 900 million people (~43% of the population) who face food insecurity or severe food insecurity as per United Nations, Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). The existing coarse-resolution (≥250-m) cropland maps lack precision in geo-location of individual farms and have low map accuracies. This also results in uncertainties in cropland areas calculated from such products. Thereby, the overarching goal of this study was to develop a high spatial resolution (30-m or better) baseline cropland extent product of South Asia for the year 2015 using Landsat satellite time-series big-data and machine learning algorithms (MLAs) on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform. To eliminate the impact of clouds, 10 time-composited Landsat bands (blue, green, red, NIR, SWIR1, SWIR2, Thermal, EVI, NDVI, NDWI) were derived for each of the three time-periods over 12 months (monsoon: Days of the Year (DOY) 151–300; winter: DOY 301–365 plus 1–60; and summer: DOY 61–150), taking the every 8-day data from Landsat-8 and 7 for the years 2013–2015, for a total of 30-bands plus global digital elevation model (GDEM) derived slope band. This 31-band mega-file big data-cube was composed for each of the five agro-ecological zones (AEZ’s) of South Asia and formed a baseline data for image classification and analysis. Knowledge-base for the Random Forest (RF) MLAs were developed using spatially well spread-out reference training data (N = 2179) in five AEZs. The classification was performed on GEE for each of the five AEZs using well-established knowledge-base and RF MLAs on the cloud. Map accuracies were measured using independent validation data (N = 1185). The survey showed that the South Asia cropland product had a producer’s accuracy of 89.9% (errors of omissions of 10.1%), user’s accuracy of 95.3% (errors of commission of 4.7%) and an overall accuracy of 88.7%. The National and sub-national (districts) areas computed from this cropland extent product explained 80-96% variability when compared with the National statistics of the South Asian Countries. The full-resolution imagery can be viewed at full-resolution, by zooming-in to any location in South Asia or the world, at www.croplands.org and the cropland products of South Asia downloaded from The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS): https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/gfsad30saafgircev001/.  相似文献   

Isotopic evolution of common lead     

A.Krishna Sinha  George R. Tilton 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1973,37(8):1823-1849

The isotopic composition of lead from galenas and feldspars of granitic rocks covering a time span of 3600 m.y. is reviewed. Hew data are combined with data from the literature, all ratios being normalized to a fixed value for the isotopic composition of lead in an inter-laboratory reference sample. Comparison of feldspar and galena results show that the isotopic composition of initial lead in granitic rocks may be identical to, or more radiogenic than, that in coeval stratiform (or ‘single stage’) ore deposits. The isotopic evolution of terrestrial lead over the past 3600 m.y. deduced from the stratiform ore data does not fit the closed system source. The data are best fitted to evolution models in which the value of μ (U²³⁸/Pb²⁰⁴ normalized to the present day) in the source has increased either over approximately the past 3.6 billion years or since the time of formation of the Earth. A limited number of high precision data for strontium likewise indicate open system isotopic evolution. In this system the Rb/Sr ratio appears to have decreased as a function of time. Physical models that explain the data are presented. Either mantle differentiation or crustal contamination processes could account for the change in μ in the source for the lead. The strontium data and some detailed studies of the isotopic composition of lead in oceanic volcanic rocks support mantle differentiation rather than crustal contamination. The exact nature of the mantle differentiation process cannot be specified, although empirical data favoring the existence of such a process are given. The best estimate of the age of the Earth, calculated with the data from 2750 and 3290 m.y.-old lead ores, is 4660 m.y.  相似文献   

The lateritic iron ores,itabiritic quartzites and epidiorites of the Kemmangundi area,Bababudan hills,Mysore state,India     

J. S. R. Krishna Rao  D. S. N. Murthy 《Mineralium Deposita》1971,6(3):253-257

Epidiorites forming the basement and occurring also as bands in ferruginous quartzites in Kemmangundi in the Bababudan Hills of Mysore State are described in regard to their structure, mineralogy, petrography, and the petrochemistry of the epidiorites and their role in the formation of the two types of iron ores in the area. The ferruginous quartzites, itabiritic iron ores, and epidiorites strike NW-SE and were simultaneously structurally deformed. They may be considered as eugeosynclinal formations. The data collected do not suggest any genetic relation between the itabiritic ores and the epidiorites. The lateritic iron ores on the other hand, were formed by the alteration of the ferruginous quartzites (itabiritic ores).

Zusammenfassung Itabiritische Quarzite und Epidiorite aus Kemmangundi in den Bababudan-Hügeln des Staates Mysore wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Struktur, ihres Mineralbestandes und ihrer chemischen Zusammensetzung untersucht. Insbesondere wird der Zusammenhang mit den beiden Typen von Eisenlagerstätten in der Gegend beleuchtet: Die itabiritischen Quarzite haben sich nicht aus den Epidioriten gebildet; dagegen sind die lateritischen Eisenerze als Verwitterungsprodukte der Eisenquarzite zu betrachten.

Environmental aspects in Dalli-Rajhara iron ore mine area,M.P. using digital image processing techniques     

A Jeyaram  R Balasubramanian  Y Vxxx N Krishna Murthy  R L Karale  Balbhir Singh 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1993,21(3):167-177

Landsat MSS (1982) and IRS LISS-II (1989) data have been used to study the land use/land cover changes in Dalli-Rajhara iron ore mine area. Supervised classification has been performed on the temporal data to generate land use/land cover maps. Land use/land cover categories generated from IRS LISS-II data of 36 m resolution has been resampled to 80 m and areal statistics have been computed for 2, 4, 8 and 10 km wide strips around Dalli-Rajhara iron ore mine. The environmental impact due to on-going mining activities in the area has been analysed. The results of this study indicate that due to increase in mine-related and agricultural activities, forests have been degraded and also forest areas have been reduced considerably.  相似文献   

Quantitative precipitation forecasting over Narmada Catchment     

K Krishna Kumar  M K Soman 《Journal of Earth System Science》1993,102(2):313-328

Quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) has been attempted over the Narmada Catchment following a statistical approach. The catchment has been divided into five sub-regions for the development of QPF models with a maximum lead-time of 24 hours. For this purpose the data of daily rainfall from 56 raingauge stations, twice daily observations on different surface meteorological parameters from 28 meteorological observatories and upper air data from 11 aerological stations for the nine monsoon seasons of 1972–1980 have been utilized. The horizontal divergence, relative vorticity, vertical velocity and moisture divergence are computed using the kinematic method at different pressure levels and used as independent variables along with the rainfall and surface meteorological parameters. Multiple linear regression equations have been developed using the stepwise procedure separately with actual and square root and log-transformed rainfall using 8-year data (1972–1979). When these equations were verified with an independent data for the monsoon season of 1980, it was found that the transformed rainfall equations fared much better compared to the actual rainfall equations. The performance of the forecasts of QPF model compared to the climatological and persistence forecasts has been assessed by computing the verification scores using the forecasts for the monsoon season of 1980.  相似文献   

Aseismic strength of kolkewadi dam     

S. S. Saini  Jai Krishna  A. R. Chandrasekaran 《地震工程与结构动力学》1972,1(3):225-240

Kolkewadi Dam, a masonry gravity dam in India, is under construction at a'site which was considered to be non-seismic at the time of planning and design. Subsequently, some major and minor earthquake shocks have occurred in the area. In view of the earthquake activity in the region, it was necessary to estimate the seismic resistance of the dam. A dynamic analysis of the two highest monoliths of the dam has been carried out, based on the probable ground motion expected at the site, including a simplified analysis, treating the dam as a cantilever beam and a detailed analysis considering two-dimensional behaviour by the finite element method. It is concluded that the dam will be able to safely withstand the severest shock that has occurred in the region. The behaviour of models of one monolith has also been studied experimentally using a shake table. The experimental behaviour of the models compares favourably with the behaviour obtained theoretically, indicating the applicability of the theoretical method of analysis.  相似文献   

Magnetic study of a metabasic dyke in Dhaiya,Dhanbad (Bihar)     

Jagdeo Singh  M. Krishna Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1971,86(1):42-62

Summary A metabasic dyke of pre-Cambrian age passing through Dhaiya village in Dhanbad, consists of metanorite, metadolerite and epidiorite. A magnetic study of this dyke has been undertaken. 14 magnetic traverses were taken with Schmidt vertical force variometer. Direction and intensity of N.R.M. have been determined for 15 oriented samples, with an astatic magnetometer. Magnetic susceptibility of 36 samples has been determined. Microscopic study (thin and polished sections) of samples has been done. The intensity of N.R.M. is upto 11.830×10^–3 c.g.s. units susceptibility varies from 53×10^–6 to 750×10^–6 c.g.s. units and the Koenigsberger ratio from 3.3 to 236.6. The magnetic profiles are interpreted taking into account both remanence and susceptibility. In case of metanorite and metadolerite, more than 80% of the anomaly is caused by remanence. Negative anomalies in some cases is due to negative inclination of remanent magnetization. Very low anomalies (less than 50 gammas) over epidiorite are due to loss of magnetism (both remanent and induced) of these rocks due to felspathization. A new mechanism has been proposed to account for the scatter in magnetic directions for metamorphosed igneous rocks. The rotation, during metamorphism, of magnetic grains (magnetite, ilmenite etc.) enclosed in the lenticular rock-forming minerals causes deviation of the magnetic vector from its original position. Two more causes have been suggested here to explain the variation of intensity of N.R.M. of metabasic rocks: (i) Ilmenite exsolved from titaniferous augite partly contributes to the N.R.M. (ii) magnetite dust injected into felspars by solutions during metamorphism, causing cloudiness in felspars, partly contributes to the N.R.M. The wide scatter in remanent magnetic direction in these rocks is due to the effects of metamorphism. The magnetic directions fall under two groups: one with positive inclination and the other with negative inclination; both the groups being, in general, magnetized normally in the horizontal direction. This indicates normal magnetization in northern and southern hemispheres respectively. This probably means that the place was in the northern and southern hemispheres at the time of original emplacement of the dolerite magma and of metamorphism respectively, the metamorphism, not affecting all the rocks uniformly.  相似文献   

Satellite-based assessment of physiographic disposition to health problems in kasargod district,Kerala, India     

P. P. Nageshwara Rao  S. Elango  H. R. Rajmohan  V. Krishna Murthy 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2004,32(1):75-79

Photo interpretation and digital classification of IRS LISS -III sensor data have been carried out for a few villages affected by abnormal health problems in the Kasargod district of Kerala State. Physical location of the affected villages in relation to the agricultural lands use, watershed characteristics and the extent of cashewnut plantations are studied. It was found that the villages affected by the health problems are located in the microwatersheds that have steep slopes, nearly circular in shape, high runoff potential. The first order streams within these micro-watersheds are originating from the cashewnut plantations that are sprayed with a toxicant called Endosulfan. The study recommends to stop aerial spraying of any toxicant on the cash crops of these watersheds.  相似文献   

Glacial meltwater impounding: Evidence from the late Quaternary glaciogenic sediments in the Sangla valley, district Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, India     

R. K. Ganjoo  M. N. Koul 《Journal of Earth System Science》2005,114(4):381-385

Sangla valley is situated at an altitude of ~ 3500 m above mean sea level and lies in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. It is fed by river Baspa, a tributary of river Sutlej, that entrenches through the Quaternary glaciogenic deposits before emerging out of the valley and joining the river Sutlej at Karcham. The unstratified to stratified glaciogenic deposits consist of large boulders to fine silt and are classified into four major depositional facies on the basis of sedimentary texture and depositional environment. The facies — basal conglomerates, debris flow, water/sheet flow and laminites — represents the change in the environment of deposition from glaciofluvial to lacustrine and also the extent of the glacier to the valley floor during late Quaternary.  相似文献
