Wind trajectory animation over Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) and Punjab, Pakistan (April, 2020)

Just created this wind trajectory animation above Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab in Pakistan. This wind trajectory (dated 20th April, 2020) is made using ECMWF's (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) ERA-5 (ECMWF Reanalysis 5th) hourly wind data. A low-pressure gradient is clearly visible at the north-eastern part of Punjab province.

Urbanization and river Ravi's meandering over decades, Lahore - Pakistan (1984-2020)
Transboundary dust plumes animation over Pakistan and India (2020) 
Made this animation in GEE to show the dust plumes transboundary movement over Pakistan and India in early months of 2020

Uneven population distribution in selected districts of Pakistan

Here's a comparison of cumulative population (1998 & 2017) of selected districts of Pakistan. It is interesting to note that cumulative population of 2 districts (Lahore & Karachi) alone is almost equivalent to 38 districts of Pakistan (including cumulative population of area-wise largest province of Pakistan i.e. Balochistan province, 4 districts of Sindh province and 2 districts of Punjab province).

It is also interesting to note that the cumulative area of these two districts (Lahore & Karachi) is only 1.25% of cumulative area of these selected 38 districts.

Independence abstract map

Happy Independence Day, Pakistan| 2020

I am sharing this abstract map again that I actually made on 14th August, 2011. The map is made out of Lahore's road network and few selected polygons.

Annual NDVI animation over Pakistan

Just made this interesting animation showing annual vegetative cover variation (January, 2019 - January, 2020) in Pakistan. This animation has been made in Google Earth Engine (GEE). MODIS dataset's 16-Day Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) at 1km resolution has been used to generate this animation.

Visualizing river meandering through GEE

A quick output of Lahore’s River Ravi animation demonstrating a cumulative and fading history technique in Google Earth Engine. The dataset used contains classified satellite images of the spatio-temporal distribution and change of surface water from 1984 to 2018. (Data Source: Global Surface Water Explorer | European Commission)
