Spatio-temporal landscape modeling of urban growth patterns in Dhanbad Urban Agglomeration, India using geoinformatics techniques

The study deals with the quantification of urban sprawl and land transformation of Dhanbad Urban Agglomeration (DUA) using geoinformatics and gradient modeling during last four decades (1972–2011). Various multi-temporal satellite images viz., MSS (1972), ETM+ (1999, 2011) and digital elevation mode...
