Monitoring and modelling of urban sprawl using remote sensing and GIS techniques
TLDR
Urban sprawl of the Ajmer city has been studied at a mid scale level, over a period of 25 years, to extract the information related to sprawl, area of impervious surfaces and their spatial and temporal variability.About:

Urban land cover classification using airborne LiDAR data: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the advancement of airborne LiDAR technology, including data configuration, feature spaces, classification techniques, and radiometric calibration/correction, is reviewed and discussed, with an emphasis on identification of the approach, analysis of pros and cons, investigating the overall accuracy, and how the classification results can serve as an input for different urban environmental analyses.

Using remote sensing and GIS to detect and monitor land use and land cover change in Dhaka Metropolitan of Bangladesh during 1960-2005
TL;DR: The analysis indicated that the urban expansion of Dhaka Metropolitan resulted in the considerable reduction of wetlands, cultivated land, vegetation and water bodies, which forms valuable resources for urban planners and decision makers to devise sustainable land use and environmental planning.

Application of an integrated system dynamics and cellular automata model for urban growth assessment: A case study of Shanghai, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented an integrated system dynamics and cellular automata model not only in socio-economic driving forces analysis but also in urban spatial pattern evaluation, which proved to be competent in monitoring and projecting the dynamics of urban growth.

The urban heat island effect and city contiguity
TL;DR: Estimating the urban heat island intensities of the 50 most populous cities in the United States using gridded minimum temperature datasets and quantifying each city's urban morphology with spatial metrics indicated that the spatial contiguity of urban development, regardless of its density or degree of sprawl, was a critical factor that influenced the magnitude of theUrban heat island effect.

Streams in the Urban Landscape
Michael J. Paul,Judy L. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: The most consistent and pervasive effect is an increase in impervious surface cover within urban catchments, which alters the hydrology and geomorphology of streams as discussed by the authors, which results in predictable changes in stream habitat.

Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the medium for studying a stream and propose a set of guidelines for studying and managing a stream, including: "Water at Rest and in Motion", "Shifting Sands", and "Stream Classification and Management".

Urban sprawl: metrics, dynamics and modelling using GIS
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent of urban sprawl taking place over a period of nearly three decades using GIS and Remote Sensing data was analyzed and it was possible to identify the pattern of sprawl and subsequently predict the nature of future sprawl.

Monitoring urban land cover change: An expert system approach to land cover classification of semiarid to arid urban centers
TL;DR: In this paper, an expert system was constructed to perform post-classification sorting of the initial land cover classification using additional spatial datasets such as texture, land use, water rights, city boundaries, and Native American reservation boundaries.
