Remote sensing of Kuwait Environment

Download or read book Remote sensing of Kuwait Environment written by Jasem A. Albanai and published by CRSK. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, I present a set of papers that I participated in as a single and main author, which were in the field of remote sensing (RS) of Kuwait environment. Here, RS applications vary in physical geography fields as following: geomorphology, climatology, biogeography, oceanography. Specifically: urban air pollution, marine biogeography, coastal geomorphology and oceanography. Through this research, I hope to increase our understanding of the natural environment of the State of Kuwait and the issues it suffers from a different perspective from space. The State of Kuwait is located in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula, where it is bordered by Iraq in the north and Saudi Arabia in the west and south. It is located between latitudes 28° 30’ and 30° 05’ North, and longitude 47° 30’ and 48° 36’ East. The results of these studies will help decision-makers in Kuwait to protect the environment and develop appropriate legislation to achieve green and blue sustainability. I also hope to high-light the importance of this technology in the environmental studies and invest in it as one of the most important modern technology in monitoring, understanding and protecting the natural environment. Finally, I present this knowledge to you as an indication of what contemporary geographers. Hope of making better use of the specialists in this field. Remote sensing is the science of extracting data and information from space without touching using the reflected and emitted radiation from the sun. This extraction and detection could be done by satellite in a term of images, or drone in a term of photos. The extracted data from the sensors have to be processed and analysed using specialized geographic information system and remote sensing software.
