    Abstract: We have demonstrated that standoff Raman spectra of some nitrates could be obtained at distances ranging from 20 meters to 250 meters using an 11-inch reflecting telescope and a continuous wavelength 785 nm laser of 400 mW power coupled with a small portable spectrometer. The measurements were taken during both day and night, indoors and outdoors, ... Show More

    Abstract: This study applied time series analysis to examine land use/land cover (LULC) change and distribution in Usangu watershed and multinomial logistic regression in the GIS environment to model the influence of the related driving factors. Historical land use/cover data of the watershed were extracted from the 2000, 2006 and 2013 Landsat images using G... Show More
