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 NSDI Coastal and marine resources Geology and mineral prospection Forestry 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 of current crop • development of human resources and technical capacities CROP MONITORING SYSTEM Blend of Satellite and Ground Systems SPOT 5 (2.5, 5, 10 m) SPOT VGT 1000m Ancillary Ground Data Rainfall Max Temp Min Temp Irrigation Fertilizer Field Info Analysis Forecast/Estimation 11/26/2013 Development of agricultural masks for all major crops FAO, UN, SUPARCO collaborative project Objectives • To develop agricultural mask showing distribution of different seasonal crops • To understand the pattern of different main crops in response to market condition • Assess the changes in agricultural land use • Database development on spatiotemporal variation of different crops PAK-SCMS BULLETIN 11/26/2013 HEALTH & EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING SYSTEM 11/26/2013 Factors analyzed for Correlations with Dengue Cases NDVI Relative Humidity Population Density Landuse /Landcover Lahore Land surface Temp DISASTER MONITORING AND MITIGATION SUPPORT 11/26/2013 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.
