satellites such the EROS of the IAI and regional agreements following the Israel’s joining the European Community. Methodological developments have taken place in three main areas: multispectral analysis, multitemporal analysis and patterns classification. Applications of these methods include a wide range of themes, from water quality assessments, through land use and vegetation dynamics monitoring, to soils and biogenic crust mapping. Water quality assessments were conducted for the Lake Kinneret area by developing spectral signatures of, for example, chlorophyll concentrations which are indicative of pollution levels. Land use monitoring was conducted for the Mount Carmel and Haifa area. New methods of multiscale texture analysis and parameterisations were developed using SPOT panchromatic and multispectral images. One of the interesting findings concerned the relationships between socio-economic characteristics and image parameterizations of building densities and vegetation abundance. In another work concerning change detection, a technique for monitoring landuse changes using SPOT images was developed. Soil and lithological studies represent one of the areas of common interest. Unmixing methods were developed for determining mineral compositions in the Machtesh Ramon area using airborne scanner data. Biogenic crusts were found to indicate grazing intensities and provided new insight into the understanding of the Israeli-Egyptian border contrast compared to earlier works. In another word vegetation dynamics were studied along the climatological gradient of the Judean Desert and found that temporal patterns of vegetation dynamics correlate well with soils distribution. Thus allowing soils mapping, using distributions of vegetation indices determined from satellite images. Rainfall distributions mapping, using radar techniques, has been researched. These data may provide better understanding of soil erosion and vegetation abundance in the semi arid and desert areas. Future directions of methodological developments and their applications will involve higher levels of integration between the spectral (including radar), spatial and temporal dimensions of remote sensing interpretation. Multispectral and multitemporal satellite imagery is used in Israel in mapping forested areas, classification, identification of changes caused by 38 International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996 deforcstation, forest fires, disease etc, and monitoring change in canopy density. The study and classification of water reservoirs has been made using SPOT imagery, through calculating surface spectral radiance. 99 Reservoir images were analysed and classified by degree of pollution, using a drinking water reservoir as ground truth. Geological mapping of particularly interesting areas is another remote sensing application, especially in desert areas. Landüse and urban density mapping has been performed, developing computerised technologies for differentiating between different types of urban areas and their densities. A project in geometric model solution of a SPOT image, production of orthoimage from panchromatic and multispectral imagery and the production of a landuse classification map, has been carried out. 3.3 Education and Research Haifa University offers a number of courses in the Department of Geography, at the graduate level, namely, Introduction to Remote Sensing and Advanced Remote Sensing. Amongst the research projects at Haifa University there are: subsurface coastal mapping by remote sensing methods, monitoring coastal changes in the Herzlia Marina area by aerial photographs and satellite images. The Bar Ilan University Laboratory for Environmental Information and Dynamics is a central facility for research and teaching in the areas of Remote Sensing, GIS and Environmental Dynamics. The objectives of the laboratory are: l. Developing methodologies for environmental remote sensing with emphasis on monitoring Mediterranean, arid and semi-arid environments. 2. Integrate environmental and ecological data derived from remote sensing interpretation into Geographical Information Systems (GIS). 3. Modelling environmental dynamic processes in Mediterranean, arid and semi-arid environments. 4. Providing computer facility for teaching undergraduate, M.A. and Ph.D students in the areas of Remote Sensing and GIS. More than 100 undergraduate students are participating in various courses, seminars and workshops carried out in the Laboratory each year. Research collaboration includes joint projects with many scientists in Israel and abroad within the framework of groups involved with Mediterranean Em pro of inte des
