The book is based on different case-studies from 25 MENA countries, and will be useful in highlighting the issues from all aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn recent years the number of natural hazard events has increased in the MENA Region. This is exacerbated by the changing climate and extreme climate events, as well as a large increase in the population in this area. Disastrous events occur on a yearly basis characterized by a vulnerability of physical processes. Floods, earthquakes, and mass movement result in severe damage to property and livelihoods, and have devastating effects upon the environment. These events cause severe financial losses, which on an annual basis, can exceed millions of dollars. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe predication, assessment and monitoring approaches remain inadequate in managing these hazards and in mitigating their impacts, but with the development of space techniques and geo-information systems, these situations can now be better managed. The miscellany of satellite images, with different spatial and temporal resolutions, enable the detection of terrain features and provide indications of potential natural risks. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will of interest to stakeholders, including field experts, academics, researchers and decision makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mashael M.
