Surface Heat-Flow Studies for Remote Sensing of Geothermal Resources

Possibility Using Remote Sensing for Estimation Sediment Resources to Reservoir of Exploitation Dams

Sedimentation in reservoirs is a prerequisite for sustainable water management. The Dez dam is very important the country because of its role in electricity frequency adjustment. The main objective of this research is to identify the sources of sediment in the catchment using satellite images, GIS and hydro-geological information. For this purpose, the lab results of sediments mineralogy reveal...

Application of remote sensing technology to geothermal exploration

Renewable energy exploration and development is currently enjoying new interest as the nation seeks to lessen its dependence on foreign oil sources. Geothermal energy is competitive in areas where high heat flow and crustal water circulation combine to provide a readily accessible resource. Nevada in particular has abundant potential for geothermal energy development. The effort at present with...

Remote sensing for urban heat and cool islands evaluation in semi-arid areas

Cities are experiencing rapid population growth and consequently extensive urbanization. Land-use/land-cover change is one of the important elements worldwide, which significantly affect the environment. This study aims to describe the emergence of urban heat and cool islands as a result of changes in land-use/land-cover. Land surface temperature over a 32-year period in Isfahan city, Iran was ...

Preface: Remote Sensing of Water Resources

The Special Issue (SI) on “Remote Sensing of Water Resources” presents a diverse range of papers studying remote sensing tools, methods, and models to better monitor water resources which include inland, coastal, and open ocean waters. The SI is comprised of fifteen articles on widely ranging research topics related to water bodies. This preface summarizes each article published in the SI.
