Louis R. Iverson,Louis R. Iverson,Robin L. Graham,Robin L. Graham,Elizabeth A. Cook,Elizabeth A. Cook +5 more
TL;DR: Since the launch of the first civilian earth-observing satellite in 1972, satellite remote sensing has provided increasingly sophisticated information on the structure and function of forested ecosystems as discussed by the authors, including land use change, including conversion of forests for urban or agricultural development, can be detected and rates of change calculated by superimposing satellite images taken at different dates.

Multi-criteria evaluation approach to GIS-based land-suitability classification for tilapia farming in Bangladesh
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to identify suitable sites for development of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farming in Sitakunda Upazila (sub-district), Bangladesh, using GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation of water and soil quality, topography, infrastructure and socioeconomic factors.
