The present work represents an endeavour of applyingremote sensing and geographic information systems(GIS) in geomorphological studies. Since theinception of the Landsat program in the early 1970s,remote sensing in particular has become anincreasingly important tool for improvingconventional methods of data collection and mapproduction in geosciences. The potential of usingremote sensing accompanied by GIS in geology andgeomorphology has been long term discussed in theprincipal literatures e.g. Lillesand & Kieffer1977-2000, Drury 1987-2001, Avery & Berlin 1992,Campell 1996, Easterbrook &…mehr

The principal benefits ofusing remote sensing and GIS are that the automaticextraction of information using automaticclassification, band ratioing, quantitative spectralanalysis, easy digital integration with auxiliarydata, and improving mapping and cartographic skills.Consequently, they are indispensable techniques forgeomorphological and geological studies nowadays.
