Abstract

Fish deaths in Maninjau Lake have been frequently reported. Apart from fishery activities, this can also be caused by changes in atmospheric conditions around Lake Maninjau due to changes in land cover around Lake Maninjau. Therefore, this study analyzes land cover changes and deforestation in 2001 and 2020 and their relationships with surface temperature and rainfall. Rainfall data and extreme temperatures were obtained from the Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) and ECMWF v5 (ERA5), respectively. Land cover data based on the Landsat satellite is used to see land changes. The results showed a decrease in the amount of vegetated land every year and an increase in residential and building land and agricultural land, which correlates with an increase in the surface temperature in the Maninjau area. Furthermore, the results also show a coherent relationship between rainfall trends and areas of deforestation.
