This paper focuses on the application of Geoinformatic methods (simultaneous using of remote sensing, geographic information system, global positioning system, terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry) in optimal operation and exploration risk reduction of oil and gas reservoirs. To approach the purpose, two aspects of remote sensing (satellite image) and terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry have...

Land use change is one of the most important factors of global environmental change. So, understanding and predicting the causes, processes and consequences of land use and land cover has become a major challenge.  The Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies can be used effectively to detect and quantify of land use changes and its effects on the environment. The pur...

Introduction: Along with the climate, Soil is an essential natural resource. Although soil studies in Iran have been started more than 50 years ago, the soil map of the country has not been fully prepared yet, and only 20-25% of the lands have been mapped already. Many soil maps of Iran need to be updated, but the common methods in soil mapping are costly and time-consuming. Hence, using data o...

Landscape ecology as a modern interdisciplinary science offers new concepts, theories, and methods for land evaluation and management. One main part of landscape ecology is describing patterns in the landscape and interpreting the ecological effects of these patterns on flora, fauna, flow of energy and materials. Landscape studies require methods to identify and quantify spatial patterns of lan...

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)...
