Our Research Projects

Noor & Ruhaan explores evidence-based agricultural research through satellite remote sensing, GIS, Earth Observation and data analytics.

1. Punjab NDVI Analysis – 2024

Status: Initial Analysis Completed

A state-level vegetation assessment using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and Google Earth Engine.

Research activities include:

• Punjab administrative boundary mapping using QGIS.

• Sentinel-2 satellite data processing.

• NDVI calculation and cloud masking.

• Analysis of minimum, maximum and mean NDVI values.

• Comparison of NDVI statistics before and after cloud masking.

Note: This analysis covers the entire state of Punjab and does not represent rice fields exclusively.

2. Haryana NDVI Analysis

Status: Research in Progress

Exploration of satellite-based vegetation monitoring and spatial NDVI assessment.

3. District and Village Level Crop Monitoring

Status: Proposed Research

Exploring more detailed agricultural vegetation assessments using validated geographical and crop boundaries.

4. Soil and Water Sustainability

Status: Proposed Research

Exploring geospatial approaches to agricultural soil and water resource monitoring.

5. Space Agriculture – MOONG-X

Status: Research Concept

Exploring published scientific research on plant growth, development and physiological responses under microgravity conditions.
