  Current Status of Wetlands in Srinagar City: Threats, Management Strategies, and Future Perspectives Aaraf Bashir 12315223 Submitted to Dr. Rahul Thapa Lovely Professional University Phagwara Punjab       INTRODUCTION Wetlands, which are permanently or occasionally covered in shallow water, are ecosystems that lie in between aquatic and terrestrial systems (Mitsch and Gosselink, 1986). They make up around 6% of the land area on Earth (Maltby, 1988). Wetlands are biologically varied and productive ecosystems (Ghermandi et al., 2008; Keddy et al., 2009). They offer a wide range of socioeconomic and ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration (Turner et al., 2000), fisheries and recreation (Keddy, 2010; Junk et al., 2013), flood control (Penatti et al., 2015), water supply (Lemly, 1994), nutrient removal (Raich and Schlesinger, 1992), maintenance and conservation of biodiversity (Mitsch and Gosselink, 2007; Whitehouse et al., 2008), and environmental restora...

Unleashing the Power of AI in Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Image
  Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have long been integral to various industries, providing spatial analysis, mapping, and visualization capabilities. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), GIS is undergoing a transformation, unlocking new possibilities for data analysis, pattern recognition, and decision-making. In this post, we'll explore how AI is revolutionizing GIS and reshaping the way we understand and interact with spatial data. AI Applications in GIS: Image Classification and Object Detection : AI algorithms can analyze satellite and aerial imagery to classify land cover types, detect objects of interest (such as buildings or vegetation), and identify changes over time. This enables applications ranging from urban planning and environmental monitoring to disaster response and agricultural management. Predictive Modeling : AI-driven predictive modeling techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning, are used to forecast spatial phenomena, such as urban...
