Although the development of remote sensing techniques focuses
greatly on construction of new sensors with higher spatial and
spectral resolution, it is advisable to also use data of older
sensors (especially, the LANDSAT-mission) when the historical
mapping of land use/land cover and monitoring of their dynamics are
needed. Using data from LANDSAT missions as well as from Terra
(ASTER) Sensors, the authors shows in his book maps of historical
land cover changes with a focus on agricultural irrigation
projects.
The kernel of this study was whether, how and to what extent
applying the various remotely sensed data that were used here,
would be an effective approach to classify the historical and
current land use/land cover, to monitor the dynamics of land
use/land cover during the last four decades, to map the development
of the irrigation areas, and to classify the major strategic
winter- and summer-irrigated agricultural crops in the study area
of the Euphrates River Basin.
