In this study, drought in the eastern region of Syria (Hasake, Rakka, DerAzzor, Bokmal & Kameshli) has been investigated using SPI, NDVI indices. We used a set of data containing precipitation data for period from 1975 to 2010 to calculate Standardized Precipitation Index SPI, and MODIS time series images in April for period from 2000 to 2010 to calculate the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index NDVI.

Climate change is the major global challenge facing water resources managers because of its impacts on many life fields beginning with agriculture activities to economic - social regions. In this study, drought in the eastern north of Syria have be en investigated (Hasake, Rakka, DerAzzor, Bokmal, Kameshli) using a set of data containing precipitation data for period from 2000 to 2010, and MODIS time series images for the same period. This study assure that 2008/2009 described as drought period in the study area, and the NDVI maps ,which we have, give us an idea about the vegetation status and patterns in the study area. The study clearly show that NDVI and rainfall was found to be highly correlated in Rakka with P- Value= 0.003; and medium correlated in the other stations with P- Value > 0.05. Results of this study verify needing to use this index (NDVI), along with precipitation data, in drought monitoring in the eastern north region of Syria. So that,. It would help managers in making decisions to face drought in this area.
This study includes a full analysis of climatic, vegetation, and topographical factors in Nabe Matta preserve (Drekish Region – Tartous Governorate – Syria), which is considered as the most important factors affecting forest fires. The data were coll ected for each fire and analyzed by statistical programs (SPSS) and (EXCEL), and the relationship between these multiple factors and the phenomenon of recurrence of fire in one area (fire risk region) was studied. Then the data and the results of the analysis and multi relationship had been studied within the geographic information system software (GIS) to obtain the map of fire risk region, as well as results from topographic maps (1:50.000), aerial photographs (1:25.000), and the needed maps were designed for the study such as (slope map - aspect map - vegetation cover map - infrastructure map - fire risk region map),then places of monitoring towers and centers of rapid intervention in high-risk areas have been proposed for the occurrence of fires. These maps are considered as warning systems and with it we can predict the probability of any fire in the Preserve when the appropriate conditions are provided for it.
Studying of land use changing Detection needs to the speed of implementation to convoy the changes on the ground. the traditional ways in the analysis and visual interpretation of the images and field studying need a lot of time and effort. So The objective of this search is to classify group images (Landsat TM , ETM+) taken in different dates automatically, and then to calculate the area of each land use/land cover, during the years studied (1990 -2000- 2010) and comparison areas to identify the most important changes occurring during that period.
This study aimed to describe the water erosion modeling in Daher Aljabal and its surrounding areas in Al-Sowaida Governorate based on GIA and RS. The water erosion risk map was obtained by applying GIS model developed on the basis of ten factors i nfluencing the erosion process. GIS layers were built for every factor. The weights for all factors were added together. Based on sum of these factors, water erosion was divided into six erosion risk levels. Results showed that 12% of the study area was classified in levels 5 and 6, which reflect high and very high water erosion risks. Land topography was the main factor in water soil erosion. Terraces are effective ways to decrease the water soil erodability. Results also showed that GIS and RS were powerful tools in water erosion risk assessment mapping.
The study area (1485 km2) is located in the eastern part of the Syrian Desert between the provinces of Deir al-Zour and Homs. Stretching from Kabbajeb to Heer Palace. Due to the similarity of topography, vegetation and land cover, 48 samples were collected one sample each 4 KM in order to predict the content of the soil of calcium carbonate through satellite images Land Sat ETM7. The spectral reflections of surface soil samples were recorded at laboratory using spectroradiometer (FeildSpecPro®). The results of this study showed that the presence of calcium carbonate at high rates in the soil increases the spectral reflectivity values, and that the spectral domain TM 1B was the best to predict the content of calcium carbonate in the soil.
