+DETECTION CHANGE OF SAND DISTRIBUTION IN ...

Abstract: Land deterioration and desertification increases broadening the sand distribution in semi-dry and dry regions due to the global warming and climate change. On this assumption, we have completed the sand distribution research study of Mongolia using the spatio-temporal analysis using the remote sense and GIS. The study comprises the sand distribution and movement mapping of Mongolia during 1984-2014 years and estimated distribution change as well. The study result indicates the sand in Mongolia increased by 0.46% for the past 30 years.
