Abstract

The application of remote sensing data is illustrated by the example of the Mount Damavand (5671 m) in the Alborz mountain range in Iran. Several types of satellite data were needed to carry out the complex monographic work on the mountain range: SSEOP images from NASA, Russian KFA-1000 images, CORONA panoramic images from NASA and Russian KVR-1000 orthoimages. There are examples of studies of climate, transportation routes, water resources, protected areas, and relics of human land-use that demonstrate the potential of remote sensing data.
Correct selection of image data in using remote sensing is a necessity for documenting and monitoring human activities.
