Ethnopedology is a hybrid discipline situated at the interface between natural and social sciences. Over the last decades, the scope of ethnopedological research has moved from descriptive to explanatory and from monodisciplinary to integrated, while at the same time the number of ethnopedological studies has increased exponentially. Current research focuses on integration of the three main domains...
Natural as well as human-induced mass movements and gullies are severe environmental hazards. Remote sensing data offer promising possibilities for identification and monitoring. But their effective use in mountainous areas is hampered by cloud effects and relief-controlled factors, which cause geometric distortions and shadow areas, among other constraints. Nevertheless, aerial photographs and satellite...
Remote sensing data help in mapping land resources, especially in mountainous areas where accessibility is limited. In such areas, land degradation is a main concern. Land is degraded not only by natural processes but also by human activities through inappropriate land use practices. Land cover and land use mapping is thus very important for evaluating natural resources. Classification of remote sensing...
