Integration of Remote Sensing Technique and GIS for Erosion Risk Modeling in Syrian Coastal Zone

Syrian coastal zone natural resources were exposed to severe pressure during the last two centuries. Large forestry areas were cut for different purposes and most of the remaining ones are degraded with different levels. The results of this study can be considered as fundamental and basic information about the status of natural resources and soil erosion severity as well as it allowed the production of guidelines and recommendations for the whole coastal zone management.
