Abstract EN
The western part of the country India is surrounded by Thar desert.
Due to climate change, many regions in the world are facing different challenges.
The objective of the study was to quantify the aeolian sand-affected land through integrated approach.
The LANDSAT-ETM+ satellite image of 2009 has been used to distinguish recently affected areas by aeolian sand.
A combined approach of digital classification backed with visual interpretation and ground verification was adopted.
In addition to classification accuracy assessment was performed using field observations.
Evidence based results of aeolian sand-affected areas have suggested that wasteland area has increased up to 4,427.55 ha (6.79%) of total geographical area.
Two types of aeolian sands areas have been detected, namely, moderately affected (3,881.77 ha) and severely affected (545.79 ha).
Moderately and severely affected aeolian soil lands have been more accurately mapped with reasonably good accuracy whereas smaller aeolian affected areas within croplands are mapped with low accuracy.
The present study provides easy methodology for delineation, classification, and characterization of aeolian affected sands.
