Applications of Terra MODIS data for Iraq marshland monitoring
Since the 1970s, the Iraq Marshlands have been damaged significantly, but recently (May 2003-March 2004), more than 20% of the original marshland area has been re-flooded.The goal of the work is to observe the evolution of the marshes in terms of extension and to evaluate the success of wetland rest...
