In the North of Tunisia, Hammam Zriba region represents an important mine activity zone, it is among the most important in the Maghreb . The mine tailings cause the environment degradation, so it had polluted the atmosphere, the soils, the vegetation, the water quality and the ecosystem of the Hammam ouady (Dry River) which is discharged directly in the Miliane River. The Miliane River represen...

* Corresponding author. Abstract – Recent improvements in sensor capabilities have enabled fire characterization from satellites. Instantaneous intensities of active fires have been characterized by the Fire Radiative Power (FRP), while burn severity has been assessed from the evaluation of Normalized Burn Ratios (NBR) derived from preand post-fire multispectral imagery. MODIS on the Terra and ...

This study was primarily aimed at verifying the potentiality of medium spatial resolution Thermal Infrared (TIR) data in monitoring environmental aspects strictly correlated to SST (Sea Surface Temperature), such as industrial cooling water discharges and the increase in seawater temperature over time, at two coastal sites in the Apulia region (Italy).TIR data acquired by LANDSAT ETM+ and ASTER...

The study area is located in the central Iranian tectono-magmatic zone, which is known for its world-class IOA-type Iron ore deposits. The Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) image-processing techniques, were used in satellite imagery through conventional and also modern processing methods including band ratios...

Change detection techniques are widely diffused to derive basic information in the analysis of land cover transformations. Some difficulties in multi-date imagery treatment persist in remote sensing applications because of errors due to noise, to environmental conditions and to geometric and radiometric distortions introduced during the acquisition or transmission phases of satellite systems. S...

The goal of this project was to improve the mapping and monitoring system of the Directorate of Forest and Parks of the Province of Chubut, Patagonia. In providing updated quantitative and qualitative knowledge of Patagonian vegetation, mainly native forests, sustainable forest resource management shall be improved. In this paper object-oriented classification using eCognition software is prese...
