Conventional query techniques for remote sensing image archives as they are available from various satellite data providers are reviewed. The Swiss National Remote Sensing Image Archive is currently being installed at the Swiss Center for Scientific Computing (CSCS/SCSC) and a status report will be given. In parallel with classical query and retrieval possibilities, content-based image search b...

Nowadays the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most powerful cost effective tools to identify and discover the available groundwater resources. In this paper, Lithological Units, Lineaments, Slope, Topography, Drainage density, Vegetation and Isohyets lines have been achieved by stations and through remote sensing and GIS techniques. All layers of diffe...

the siyah bisheh area is located in central part of alborz zone, 40km south of amol, iran. rock units exposing in the area consists of sedimentary (carbonates, sandstone, siltstone), volcano- sedimentary (andesite to andesitic tuff, tuff), ignimbrite and basalt. when erosion and tectonics have rendered volcanic structures undetectable, remote sensing provides an invaluable tool for their ide...
