Monitorizarea zonelor umede din Kenya este esențială pentru analiza schimbărilor de mediu, deoarece acestea prezintă ecosisteme unice cu echilibru hidrologic și biodiversitate deosebite. În acest studiu, imaginile satelitului Landsat 8-9 OLI/TIRS pentru 2015-2022 au fost clasificate folosind scripturile GRASS GIS pentru a evalua schimbările din zona umedă Lorian Swamp, din nord-estul Keniei. Rezultatele analizei imaginii au prezentat hărți ale modificărilor acoperirii solului, inclusiv zonele umede. Studiul a demonstrat eficacitatea GIS GRASS pentru monitorizarea mediului în zonele umede africane.
Monitoring wetlands of Kenya is critical for analysis of environmental changes since they present unique ecosystems with special hydrological balance and biodiversity. In this study, the Landsat 8-9 OLI/TIRS satellite images for 2015-2022 were classified using GRASS GIS scripts to evaluate changes in the Lorian Swamp wetland, north-eastern Kenya. The results of the image analysis presented maps of land cover changes including wetlands. The study demonstrated technical effectiveness of the GRASS GIS for image analysis, and contributed to the environmental monitoring of African wetlands.

Abstract
Monitoring wetlands of Kenya is critical for analysis of environmental changes since they present unique ecosystems with special hydrological balance and biodiversity. In this study, the Landsat 8-9 OLI/TIRS satellite images for 2015-2022 were classified using GRASS GIS scripts to evaluate changes in the Lorian Swamp wetland, north-eastern Kenya. The results of the image analysis presented maps of land cover changes including wetlands. The study demonstrated technical effectiveness of the GRASS GIS for image analysis, and contributed to the environmental monitoring of African wetlands.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
