Abstract

Global warming has been one of the major concerns of the century. The causes of this problem are the green-house gases. Due to the manmade mistakes the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission has reached highest of its level in recent years. Forest fires, haze and deforestation have contributed in increasing the CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Diagnosing these problems in the initial stage would definitely avert the major losses. This paper deals on detecting the changes in forest scenarios due to fire, felling of trees, etc. using a Geographical Information System (GIS) information analysis system using a pattern recognition concept, and detect the unusual changes and alert the system in early stage.
