Mapping vegetation cover changes in Kirkuk governorate using remote sensing and GIS techniques
Aug 19, 2024

Journal AIP Conference Proceedings

This research examined the assessment of changes in land cover, particularly vegetation changes. The study was applied to a specific area, the Al-Rashad district in Kirkuk governorate, northeastern Iraq. It searched for the changes in plant cover areas using the spectral signature of crops and supervised classification. To evaluate the vegetation and land cover in the study area, a comparison was made using different datasets with periods 2015, 2018, and 2021. Besides, a spectral signature was used to specify the type of crops obtained from (the Ministry of Science and Technology Department of Space and Communications). A supervised classification approach (Support Vector Machine SVM), was applied for land cover classifications. The land cover variation rates were derived from the Sentinel2 images of the years (2015, 2018, and 2021). The vegetation classes were based on the spectral-spatial analyses of three crops (wheat, barley, and corn). Each crop area had been calculated in each season for three years in the study area. Based on study findings, it was discovered that the vegetation cover had been increased extremely. Vegetation cover area increased 26% and became 322.81 km2 in 2021. Besides, the area of each crop was calculated where Barley and corn have increased in 2021 to become 146.943km2 and 114.351 km2 respectively, while Wheat decreased to become 61.515 km2. Moreover, classification overall accuracy was equal to 85%, 95%, and 85% for 2015, 2018, and 2021 respectively, with kappa coefficient of 0.76, 0.90, and 0.80 respectively.

An analysis of hydrologic dynamics in Hamrin Lake, Iraq using remote sensing and GIS techniques
Jan 1, 2025

Journal DYSONA-Applied Science

Iraq's lakes and rivers are presently experiencing significant drought due to climate change and political factors. This research employs satellite data and GIS tools to assess water shortage and identify surface area variations of Lake Hamrin from 2004 to 2024. This research analyzes the fluctuations in the lake's surface area over the past two decades using data from five Landsat satellites collected in 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019, along with an estimate for 2024. The findings indicate a significant drop in Lake Hamrin's surface area from 220.42 km² in 2004 to 35.28 km² in 2009, reflecting an 84% loss attributed to intense environmental and anthropogenic stressors. However, a considerable recovery transpired from 2014 to 2019, with the surface area expanding to 306.11 km², exceeding the 2004 extent. The shoreline length has a comparable trend, decreasing from 179.22 km in 2004 to 89.32 km in 2009, and then increasing to 286.38 km by 2024. The findings indicate that the oscillations in surface water area are due to discrepancies in water supply and outflow, exacerbated by insufficient rainfall and alterations to river systems by neighboring countries, including the construction of dams and river diversion. These alterations underscore the necessity of action to prevent the complete evaporation of the lake.
