Flooded Area

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Flood is a major threat to one of the UNESCO world heritage site of India-The Kaziranga National Park. Every year during the monsoon several hundreds of animals which include globally threatened species like single-horned Indian Rhinoceros of Kaziranga lose their lives due to the flood. The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can be used to monitoring the flood than the optical remote sensors because of their capability of all-weather and time-independent operability. The microwave L band is most suitable for the flood studies because of its higher penetration capability even through the vegetation. In this study, the advantages of SAR polarimetry and Interferometry of multi-temporal L band dual-pol data of ALOS PALSAR 2 were used to characterize the flooded area and also to monitor the flood extent. The H/ A/ Alpha decomposition gives a better characterization of the flooded area. The separability analysis is done with a different combination of decomposition parameters and the parameters having high-class separability between water and non-water areas are selected. Polarimetric classification using Random forest classifier is done on these selected decomposition parameters to classify the study into water and non-water areas. The classified images of different months before, during and after the flood time is used to quantitatively estimate the flood extent and for time series analysis. The Interferometric SAR coherence images along with the backscatter images are used to generate the RGB composites which also gives times series information on the flood impact.</p>

This paper addresses the need to systematically design learning content to promote world heritage site preservation awareness. Based on 212 samples from a local university in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR, impact of learning content designed according to Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) is assessed through a repeated-measure t-test. Findings show that PMT-based learning content influences respondents’ on threat appraisal and coping appraisal towards the preservation of world heritage site.

This chapter focuses on the magnitude of a historic episode that became a key literary and artistic topic of early medieval European art. It analyzes the characterization of the Frankish heroes as depicted in the epic poem La Chanson de Roland and in the Historia Caroli Magni et Rotholandi, and the interpretation of the battle by the master glassmaker who manufactured the exceptional stained-glass window of the Chartres cathedral, four centuries later. Chartres has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which identifies the glass as ‘the high point of French Gothic art’. It is fascinating to study how real characters became legendary heroes and how real, historic events became legends; especially interesting is the analysis of the intentions behind this conversion from reality into fantasy.
