| Abstract | ||
| The marshes in the southern part of Iraq are considered as one of the most important water bodies in the world. This is due to their economical and environmental importance, because they include huge water and fishery resources, as well as their historical and tourist importance. Large environmental changes took place, due to the dryness of the marshes during the nineties of the last century. Therefore, this study is found to be very necessary to record these changes, using remote sensing techniques. The application of change detection techniques aims to discover all types of changes that took place in Al-Huwaiza Marsh during the last 27 years, from 1975 – 2002. This is achieved by using Landsat MSS images, dated in 1977 and Landsat ETM+ dated in 2002. After application geometrical corrections, the desertified areas, development of sabkha, highly saliferous soil and absence of vegetation were clearly determined. | ||
