The environmental applications include monitoring and mapping soil salinity and prediction of soil properties, monitoring and mapping of land threats, proximal sensing for soil monitoring and soil fertility, spatiotemporal land use/cover, agricultural drought monitoring, hydrological applications including spatial rainfall distribution, surface runoff and drought control, geo-morphometric analysis and flood simulation, hydrologic and hydraulic modelling and the effective management of water resources. Also, this book assesses the impacts of climate change on natural resources using both RS and GIS, as well as other applications, covering different parts of Iraq. The book chapters include tens of maps extracted from the remotely sensed datasets, in addition to tables and statistical relations obtained from the results of the studies of the chapters' authors. These studies have been conducted in different parts of Iraq; in the north (Kurdistan region) with its mountainous and undulating lands, in western parts which have desert soils, and in central and southern Iraq where there are salty soils, dunes, wetlands, and marshes. The book is written by distinguished scientists from Iraq, China, USA, Italy, Iran, Germany, and the Czech Republic who are interested in the Iraqi environment. The book is therefore a useful source of information and knowledge on Iraqi environment for graduate students, researchers, policy planners, and stakeholders in Iraq as well as similar regions. 410 0$aSpringer Water,$x2364-6934 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aNatural resources 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aHydrology 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 606 $aNatural Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U39000 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aHydrology/Water Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 0$aNatural resources. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 14$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 615 24$aNatural Resources. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aHydrology/Water Resources. 676 $a621.3678 676 $a621.3678 702 $aAl-Quraishi$b Ayad M.
