“…The rapidly growing of population and global warming place cultural heritage sites at great risk. According to Rehman et al, 2019, the land cover classes and socio-economy of upper and central Sindh province is under the dangerous threat of climate change, especially in flood period. According to his study, normal vegetation, water body and wet soil are decreased while healthy vegetation and dry soil are increased (Rehman et al, 2019).…”

Archaeological studies with the help of geographic information systems and remote sensing have been used in temporal, spatial, regional analysis and to investigate traditional and historical ways of human life. Remote sensing alludes to a wide variety of high-technology methods for collecting data pertaining to the physical or chemical properties of an archaeological site survey. The aim of this study is to identify the archaeological site of Makli graveyard and Banbhore fort through satellite images and explore the major land cover patterns on the southern part of Sindh province using geospatial technologies. Additional goals are to evaluate and visualize the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the southern part of Sindh province. A landsat-8 OLI / TIRS of 20th December 2014 and a DEM image were used to classify land cover and artifacts at the site. The result indicates that historical monuments at Makli, and Banbhore fort, Thatta testify in an outstanding manner, to the civilization of the Sindh region. geographically, its location is vulnerable around the river. Banbhore has survived such threats and continued to flourish as the only and most important port of Sindh.

“…Agriculture, which is the main economic activity of the study area is a major driver of land use and land cover change. According to [35], when the population grows more lands are used for food cultivation. According to [36] due to urbanisation a lot more lands are needed to meet the housing needs of the growing population.…”

Issues of global warming and climate change as a result of the aggravation of greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic activities have remained a global discourse since time immemorial. Climate change has increased temperatures and reduced the amount and distribution of rainfall. This has become a major concern to scholars and researchers alike. This study, therefore, investigates the impacts of climate change in the North Eastern part of Ghana between 1985 and 2016. The study looks at land use and land cover changes in the watersheds of the Tono Reservoir using satellite images. Satellite images were extracted and imported into ERDAS 2010 for processing. Layer stacking was performed to put all the bands together as one file. Sub-setting was done to extract the Tono Reservoir and its environs. Climate variables such as rainfall, temperature were analysed to find their relationships with water levels of the Tono reservoir. It was found that rainfall and water levels of the Tono reservoir were decreasing at 4.4% per decade and 8% per annum, respectively, while closed forests and grasslands had reduced by 5.51% and 7.44%, respectively, between 1985 and 2016. There were increases in open forests (2.8%), shrublands and bushes (0.97%) and water bodies (1.2%). The study recommends that collaborative efforts between the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture were necessary to safeguard natural resources in the country.
