“…There has been a signi cant decline in vegetative cover in the three central marshes due to degradation leading to a dramatic rise in a barren land. The most damaged swamplands are the Central bogs and the Al-Hammar, where more than 90% of it is degraded (Mahmoudi et al, 2021). Only around 30% of the Al-Hamaar swamp remains intact due to the Karkha River from Iran, which continues to feed its northern parts (Albarakat et al, 2018).…”

The world's most essential natural environmental resources are the wetlands. Therefore, in Iraq, the Mesopotamia marshes are considered as the utmost significant swamplands worldwide. They are situated in the massive water meadow of Rivers Tigris and Euphrates in the lower basin of Mesopotamia. In this paper there will be a thoughtful study for the effect of climate and microclimate changing on these Marshes. Since, remote sensing tends to be the most effective approach as it is less costly and consumes fewer time, the Advanced, Very High-Resolution Radiometer is found in polar-orbiting ecological satellites to estimate NDVI the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. Essentially, two ethereal stations located on sensor NOAA was conducted on three different marshes in the study area. A time-series observation of the AVHRR/NDVI for the period 1982-2017 of the three marshes enumerated the vagaries in the ecosystem to help determine hydrology and vegetation. The water system in Iraq is experiencing significant challenges, thus increasing concerns about the Mesopotamian marshes that have been sustaining the region for thousands of years that are likely to disappear soon.

This chapter aims to investigate advance and relevance of remote sensing in detecting the increasing transnational terrorist and crimes acts. This work should take into the widest definition of transnational crimes and terrorist activities and the link between. Geopolitics has created a favor climate for the setting of transnational crimes and terrorism at the Tunisian-Libyan borders. A possible future scenario is the fall of a military base with high technology arms in the hand of terrorist groups. Remote would be relevant by monitoring of terrorist mobility and their number evolution, arms quality and quantity within the base and the region, linked illegal activities funding terrorist groups (human trafficking from Africa to Europe, arms trade towards Mali, and smuggling).
