By Yonas Mesfun

This issue has seven articles. It starts with a study of land use and land cover changes observed in the sub-Zone of Keren in Anseba region. Using satellite images, GIS and spatial metrics, Abiel Y. Weldegiorgis and Zemenfes Tsighe have found that built-up area has grown almost 500 percent in the last three decades leading to the year 2015. Elias Gebreluul and Zekeria Abdelkerim, using remote sensing data, studied the distribution of mangrove forest along the Red Sea coast. Hadgu Eyesab, Zekeria Abdelkerim and Habtom Emru's study investigated seasonal and spatial relationship of sea surface temperature (SST) and surface chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration and SST and nutrient availability in southern Red Sea using satellite data. Hammid Mohammed Ibrahim and Md. Minhajul Hoda's study used geospatial approach to malaria risk analysis in Ghindae sub-Zone. The study by Mebrahtom Zerom and Ogbaghebriel Berakhi assessed land degradation in Tsmieti catchment, Adi Kuala sub-Zone, using land use/land cover change analysis through landsat images taken at three points in time (1994, 2002, and 2015). Mohammed Mohammedali Mussa and Woldeselassie Ogbazghi's study used satellite remote sensing and GIS to monitor land use/land cover changes in Hamelmalo sub-Zone. Finally, Tsinat Yemane and Zemenfes Tsighe assessed accessibility to primary, middle and secondary schools in Adi QeyyiH sub-Zone using GIS.
