Nevertheless, ground monitoring systems require intensive efforts and cost. Furthermore, ground monitoring may be difficult to be achieved in large geographic extent. Remote sensing technology has been introduced for waste disposal management and monitoring effects of the landfill sites on the environment. In this paper, two case stüdies are presented in the Trail Road landfill, Ottawa, Canada and the Al-Jleeb landfill, Al-Farwanyah, Kuwait to evaluate the use of multi-temporal remote sensing images to monitor the landfill sites. The work objectives are: 1) to study the usability of multi-temporal Landsat images for landfill site monitoring by studying the land surface temperature (LST) in the Trail Road landfill, 2) to investigate the relationship between the LST and the amount of the landfill gas emitted in the Trail Road landfill, and 3) to use the multi-temporal LST images to detect the suspicious dumping areas within the Al-Jleeb landfill site. Free archive of multi-temporal Landsat images are obtained from the USGS EarthExplorer. The Landsat images are then atmospherically corrected and the LST images are derived from the thermal band of the corrected Landsat images. In the Trail Road landfill, the results reveal that the LST of the landfill site is always higher than the air temperature by 10°C in average as well as the surroundings. A correlation is also observed between the recorded emitted methane (CHy) from the ground monitoring stations and the LST derived from the Landsat images. Based on the findings in the Al-Jleeb landfill, five locations are identified as suspicious dumping areas by overlaying the highest LST contours generated from the multi-temporal LST images. The study demonstrates that the use of multi-temporal remote sensing images can provide supplementary information for landfill site monitoring. 1. INTRODUCTION Municipal solid waste management is a critical issue for urban management and city planning (Schubeler, 1996). The main purpose of waste management is to provide sufficient protection to the environment and the general public from the risky effects of waste (Yahaya et al, 2011). There are number of optical remote sensing sensors that are commonly used for Earth observation and environmental monitoring. Optical remote sensing sensors acquire images of the Earth surface by recording the solar radiation reflected from targets on the ground. Applications of remote sensing in environmental monitoring of the landfill sites aim to map its spatial extent, surrounding vegetation cover, and chemical composition of the Surface (Slonecker et al, 2010). These data can provide valuable information for environmental impact assessment within landfills and the surrounding areas. There are number of researches using satellite remote sensing images for landfill site monitoring. Nas et al. (2010) demonstrated a case study in the City of Konya, Turkey, for appropriate site selection for the landfill, using the GIS and multi-criteria evaluation (MCE). The ArcGIS ArcMap 9.0 and its extensions can be customized to build MCE. Eight GIS layers were acquired for this site selection, including the urban areas, land use/land cover, land slope, archaeological sites, transportation routes, local wells, and irrigational canals. Each layer was ranked with different weights where 0 indicated an unsuitable area and 10 indicated the most suitable area. The final map shows all the suitable locations for the landfill site for the different categories. The categories were classified as: 6.8% were the most appropriate, 15.796 were appropriate, 10.4% were moderately appropriate, 25.8% were poorly appropriate, and 41.3% were inappropriate. At the end of the analyses, three locations were identified as the most appropriate landfill site locations for the City of Konya. Ottavianelli et al. (2007) introduced the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometric products and hypersepctral data to monitor the Brogborough landfill located midway between Milton Keynes and Bedford in the U.K. The study used the ground-based SAR (GB-SAR) system to measure the microwave signals for the landfill site. The measurements of capped area and the open cells were conducted in the landfill site for a comparative analysis of angular measurements of polarizations. Moreover, coherence (or decorrelation) and SAR backscatter signal method were used to identify the dumping areas. The study demonstrated that the decorrelation method is of particular use to detect the properties and characteristics of the surface of the landfill, i.e., surface roughness, soil moisture affected by topography, speckle, and wave polarization.
