  Study of the Pulicat Lagoon on the Basis of Deprived Vegetation and Water Area against Increased Land Surface Temperature
  Author(s): Raja Kumari*
  
  The Pulicat located on the east coast is one of the 17 coastal lagoons of India. It is the second largest brackish water lagoon of India. The lagoon is rich in biodiversity and supports nearly 50000 populations for their livelihood. The lagoon faces acute threats by natural and anthropogenic activities in the recent years. The present study is attempted to quantify the influence of these natural and anthropogenic activities on the lagoon environment. The study is carried out for a period of 21 years from 2000 to 2021. Land Use/Cover (LULC), Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Modified Water Index (NDMWI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) are some of the key parameters determined and assessed in the study to indicate the level of degradation of the lagoon using directional mapping. Prediction of LULC features of the lagoon for the next decade is attem.. View more»
