the volume and surface area of the coast is a function of basin water levels. recognizing the factors of coastal geomorphologic changes could have a pivotal role in planning and managing the coast. effective factors in the formation and evolution of geomorphologic factors such as geological, tectonic, paleoclimatic, paleoclimatic and sea level changes have been considered in this study and the ...

Land use change may influence many natural phenomena and ecological processes, including runoff, soil erosion, sedimentation and soil conditions. Decreasing of forest area in the North of Iran is one of the critical problems in recent years. The aims of this study are to detect land use changes between 1967 to 2002 using satellite images of Land Sat 7 ETM+ (2002), aerial photos and digital topo...

urbanization and population growth along with an increase in the environmental pollution resulting from human activities which have dramatically changed the green space and land cover have been key factors in the sustainable development of land and the management of land use. to collect reliable data required for providing land cover maps as well as for investigating the environment, remote sen...

This paper presents an automatic system for generating multi-scale colour 3D satellite images and dynamic visualization of 3D images through the Internet. Medium-resolution satellite images such as Landsat 7 and high-resolution satellite images such as Ikonos or QuickBird are the data sources for the multi-scale 3D images. New image fusion, colour enhancement and stereoscopy algorithms are deve...

internationally, one of the most important purposes to establish a national park is to protect a unique ecosystem with all its inclusive biota. therefore, this will facilitate the management and protection of the neighboring lands. unfortunately, this trend was reversed in iranian national parks. during recent decades, the land cover changes in protected areas have led to the decrease of the re...
