Congratulations to 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐃𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐂. 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 of the Department of Biology, UP Baguio, for the successful publication of his research article:
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐳𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱 (𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐈) 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥”
This pioneering study demonstrates the use of the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) model and Landsat 8 satellite data in evaluating the environmental quality of the Abra River watershed. It integrates vegetation health, surface temperature, soil conditions, and moisture into a holistic ecological assessment using principal component analysis. The findings provide crucial insights into the condition of the watershed and offer a data-driven basis for large-scale environmental monitoring and sustainable watershed management in Northern Luzon. 🌎✨
👏A remarkable contribution to environmental science and conservation planning!
