e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

MONITORING THE DYNAMICS OF LAND COVER IN THE LAKE KIVU REGION USING MULTI-TEMPORAL LANDSAT IMAGERY

en
Abstract

The objective of this paper is to access land cover change patterns in the Lake Kivu region located in Central Africa using historical multispectral Landsat imagery over past 25 years. A supervised or knowledge based characterization method was developed to quantify the land cover in the region by compositing multi-year Landsat imagery for three periods 1987, 2001 and 2010. Pixel based post classification method was used to access the land cover change pattern over the years. The region underwent rapid deforestation with 168,601 hectares of forest and 220,541 hectares of woodlands being cleared over the years. The areas were converted to farmlands for subsistence farming. Urbanization is increasing slowly over the years and mining and armed conflicts remain major challenge for forest protection in the region.
