GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE KARAK PLATEAU USING
REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Geomorphological features are often found at a scale
that cannot be fully appreciated with the unaided eye at
ground level. One way to overcome this disadvantage is
through the use of remotely sensed data (e.g., satellite
data) and geographic information systems (GIS). The
arid/semi-arid environment of the Karak Plateau and
surrounding region provides the ideal setting to "see"
many of these features using these techniques. In this
study, a sample of Plateau forces and processes will be
explored to illustrate how remote sensing and GIS are
used as geomorphological tools.
