Organohalogen emissions from saline environments – spatial extrapolation using remote sensing as most promising tool

Border extrapolation using fractal attributes in remote sensing images

In management, monitoring and rational use of natural resources the knowledge of precise and updated information is essential. Satellite images have become an attractive option for quantitative data extraction and morphologic studies, assuring a wide coverage without exerting negative environmental influence over the study area. However, the precision of such practice is limited by the spatial ...

Investigation of periodic changes of the Oman Sea coastline using remote sensing data and spatial analysis

Extended abstract   1- Introduction Coastal environments are one of the most sensitive environmental systems under the influence of dominant hydrodynamic processes. Coastal changes and evolution are occurring very fast. Coastal areas are now gradually becoming known as severe natural and man-made disturbances, including sea levels rising, coastal erosion and sedimentation, and over-exploitat...

Analysis of spatial variability of soil properties using geostatistics and remote sensing

Soil mapping is one of the basic studies in the natural resource sector. The purpose of this study was to analyze spatial of soil properties on the map of arid areas and deserts. For this purpose, a region with an area of 600 hectares in Qom that considered Salt Lake watershed. Specified methods used include inverse distance methods, radial functions, and prediction local general estimate. Krig...

Analyzing the Spatial Pattern of Drought in Central and South Zagros Using Remote Sensing Indicators

Introduction: As a complex phenomenon occurring due to a long period of poor precipitation, drought causes water scarcity in the soil and the hydrological system via hydrological, bringing about long-term consequences which may lead to severe economic, environmental, and social problems worldwide. Droughts are classified into four types: meteorological (rainfall), agricultural (soil’s moisture)...
