Land Cover Changes in Danbatta Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria

Abstract: This research analyzed desertification and land degradation in the Dambatta Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State with the view to delineating hotspot areas that require intervention. The imageries used for the research analysis were obtained from the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Abuja. The data sets were captured by Landsat Multispectral Scanner/Thematic Mapper (MSS/TM) 1997, Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) 2007 and Operational Land Imager (OLI) 2017. The Maximum L… Show more
