Research
The research under this program has included:
- New ways of classifying vegetation and habitat using remotely sensed
data especially multi-date NDVI, and developing:
- An eco-climatic distance measure that quantifies eco-climate and vegetation
variability in a single continuously varying scale and has led to an index of beta diversity
besides enabling analyses of corridors for different species
- An index of landscape heterogeneity based on remote sensing that has three
components of variability at 1 sq km resolution: ecosystem, seasonality and edge.
- Using species niche modeling techniques to predict and map potential
habitat of threatened, endemic species and potential invasive species.

Predicting Indian Fox Distribution Using Ecological Niche Modeling
- Model Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) to understand drivers of change and
also to project future scenarios to influence policy issues in a proactive manner.
