On-going monitoring of deformation dams is critical to assure their safe and efficient operation. Traditional methods, based on in-situ sensors measurements the dam, have some limitations in spatial coverage, observation frequency, cost. This paper describes potential use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) scenes from Sentinel-1A for characterizing deformations at Mosul Dam (MD) NW Iraq. Seventy-eight Single Look Complex (SLC) ascending geometry scenes, acquired 03 October 2014 27 June 2019, 96...
Soil loss is one of the most important causes land degradation. It an inevitable environmental and socio-economic problem that exists in many physiographic regions world, which, besides other impacts, has a direct bearing on agricultural productivity. A reliable estimate soil critical for designing implementing any mitigation measures. We applied widely used Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) Khabur River Basin (KhRB) within NW part Zagros Fold Thrust Belt (ZFTB). The areas such as...
The increasing world population and the growing quantity of solid waste have become a challenging problem facing governments policy makers because scarcity suitable sites for new landfills negative perception these by people. This study aims to evaluate performance different Multi-Criteria Decision-Analysis (MCDA) approaches using remote sensing Geographic Information System (GIS) data identifying landfill (LFSs). We evaluated methodologies used various investigators selected appropriate...
The northern and northeastern parts of Iraq are mountainous areas rugged topography with different erosional morphological forms; among them the wine-glass (erosional cirques) forms. They developed in shapes, sizes, depths. In outlets usually, alluvial fans formed. studied area is characterized by presence long narrow anticlines NW–SE trend that changes westward to E–W trend. Cretaceous carbonate rocks form main carapace majority mountains; however, locally Paleogene and/or Jurassic...
The Iraqi Kurdistan Region is a mountainous area with relief difference ranging from few hundred meters up to 3000 m, and locally more. Almost all of the mountains form anticlines that have NW–SE trend changing westwards longitude E–W. carapace majority built Cretaceous rocks; however, some them are older rocks. Many those crossed by straight valleys and/or streams rivers which again lines almost coincide regional lineaments, usually in N–S or NE–SW trend. studied controlled, most probably...
