to national development and better management of available
resources.
The priority areas are:
Agriculture and food security
Health and education
Hydrology
Disaster monitoring and mitigation support
Environment, climate change and snow / glacier monitoring
Urban planning
Land cover Mapping

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY
11/26/2013
SATELLITE BASED CROP MONITORING SYSTEM
On going project on the improvement of national and provincial
capacity to collect and analyze agricultural information and
deliver accurate, reliable, timely, precise and cost effective
agricultural statistics using satellite and ground based
observations to address issues of national food security.
This is being obtained through:
• integration of remotely sensed data into existing data
collection, analysis, and dissemination systems
• design and implementation of rigorous agriculture and rural
survey methods (e.g. area frame and crop yield models)
• improvement of quality and
forecast/estimation bulletins
outlook

• development of human resources and technical capacities

MAJOR DISASTER MONITORING AND MITIGATION SUPPORT

Since the earthquake of 2005 satellite imagery has been extensively utilized for
relief/rescue, early recovery and rehabilitation/reconstruction efforts.

SUPARCO & UN Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) signed a cooperation
agreement for establishment of UN-SPIDER Regional Support Office (RSO) during 47th
Scientific & Technical Subcommittee Sessions on Peaceful Use of Outer Space
(COPOUS) on 10th Feb 2010

PAK_RSO is Responsible for provision of timely space based information incase of
major disaster in the region. It also undertakes awareness, capacity building and
technical advisory support of organizations involved in disaster management and
mitigation. The PAK-RSO operates on 24/7 basis.

FOG AEROSOL CHARACTERIZATION, SOURCE
APPORTIONMENT AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Government of Pakistan approved a project to assess the increasing trend of
winter dense fog in Punjab

The results are:
•
Indian region each year (October to March) is enveloped with haze, dense
winter fog starting from northeast to northwest and extended to the eastern
part of Pakistan
•
The maximum haze-affected area during the last four years (2006-2010) in
Pakistan ranged from 155,241 Km2 to 353,947 Km2
•
The maximum winter fog-affected area during last four years in Pakistan
ranged from 136,269 Km2 to 380,921 Km2
•
Agricultural productivity and human health affected
POLLUTION - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
• Studies have been carried out on regional aerosols
• Integrated network of environmental observatories needs to be established to assess
environmental impact including climate change
11/26/2013
NATIONAL ENVIRONNEMENTAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(NEIMS)
• To contribute in promotion of sustainable development through national capacity building in
developing, managing and utilizing environmental information for decision-making
• To review and analyze current situation of environmental data/information management
• To develop sectoral and inter-sectoral database of existing environmental information
• To establish functional network of National Environmental Information Management System
GLACIERS STUDIES
SUPARCO in collaboration with Institute of Tibetan Plateau
(ITP), China is carrying out research on Climate Change &
