Published PhD Paper on Drought Assessment in Tanzania Using Remote Sensing

My 1st PhD paper, "Spatiotemporal drought assessment using remote sensing indicators and land-use change analysis: Implications for Loss and Damage in pastoral communities of Simanjiro District, Tanzania," has been published in Natural Hazards (Springer Nature) Springer Nature.

The study integrates remote sensing, land-use change analysis, and household survey data to assess drought dynamics and their implications for climate-induced Loss and Damage in northern Tanzania. We hope the findings contribute to improved drought monitoring, early warning, and evidence-based climate policies. Read full article at
