Beschreibung

Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, Haramaya University, language: English, abstract: Land-use/land-cover change is a major issue of global environmental change. This study was aimed to investigate LULCC, driving forces, and their implications on climate variability in the case of Kereba Sub-Catchment of Awash Basin, Eastern Ethiopia from 1999 to 2019. Satellite image data were downloaded from the USGS websites. Gridded temperature and rainfall data were obtained from the NMSA of Ethiopia. Also, FGD, KII, and field observation were used to address drivers of LULCC. Google Earth and Global Positioning System were employed for ground verification. The maximum likelihood supervised classification method was used to classify LU/LC types, NDVI and LST using ERDAS imagine 2015 and ArcGIS 10.3 software. Coefficient of Variation, Precipitation Concentration Index, and the moving average was used to analyze temperature and rainfall data. Regression analysis/Correlation coefficient was used to signify the association of LULCC and NDVI with climate variables. Landsat image of the study area was classified into agricultural land, forest land, grazing land, settlement, and shrub land.

Biography of Juhar Ahmed My name is Juhar Ahmed, and I am a lecturer at Dilla University in Ethiopia. My life has been a testament to resilience and unwavering commitment to education. I was born into a poor family and faced numerous challenges in my early years. Despite the financial difficulties, I had a strong desire to learn and made the courageous decision to attend school on my own. In order to support myself, I took on additional responsibilities, such as tending to other people's cattle and even selling sugarcane. These endeavors helped me make ends meet while pursuing my education. With determination and hard work, I successfully completed my preparatory school education. This achievement opened the doors for me to gain admission to Dilla University, where I pursued a degree in Social Anthropology. Throughout my undergraduate studies, the support of my friends, lecturers, and the unwavering prayers of my family played a crucial role in my academic journey. After graduation, I faced a two-year period of unemployment. However, in 2020, an opportunity presented itself when I secured a job as an assistant lecturer at Dilla University. In 2021, my dedication to learning was recognized when I was awarded a scholarship to study a Master of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies at the Arctic University of Norway in Tromso. This incredible opportunity was made possible through a collaboration between Dilla University and the Arctic University of Norway. I embraced this chance to broaden my knowledge and experiences. Upon completing my courses at the Arctic University of Norway, I returned to my home university to finish my thesis. This marked a significant milestone in my academic journey, highlighting my resilience and determination to overcome all obstacles. My story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of education. From facing financial challenges to balancing responsibilities, I have overcome numerous obstacles to achieve my academic goals. I am grateful for the support and encouragement I have received along the way, which has shaped me into the dedicated and resilient individual I am today.
