Improving satellite remote sensing methodologies for analyzing landscape dynamics in arid environments with focus on Egypt

Sand dune dynamics exploiting a fully automatic method using satellite SAR data

This work presents an automatic procedure to quantify dune dynamics on isolated barchan dunes exploiting Synthetic Aperture RADAR satellite data. We use C-band datasets, allowing the multi-temporal analysis of dune dynamics in two study areas, one located between the Western Sahara and Mauritania and the second one located in the South Rayan...

Mapping and quantifying the human-environment interactions in middle Egypt using machine learning and satellite data fusion techniques

Population growth in rural areas of Egypt is rapidly transforming the landscape. New cities are appearing in desert areas while existing cities and villages within the Nile floodplain are growing and pushing agricultural areas into the desert. To enable control and planning of the urban transformation, these rapid changes need to be mapped...
