Remote sensing technology nowadays is one of the most useful tools for scientific research in general and for oceanography in particular. From satellite images, the useful information such as waterline images can be extracte for a large region simultaneously. After tidal adjustments, the waterlines can be used as the observed shorelines which are important inputs for estimating shoreline changes by either using the integration of remote sensing and GIS or using numerical models. Based on the spectral bands of various Landsat images, the paper presents the methods to detect the waterlines in Phan Thiet region in the 40 years period using the images of 1973, 1976, 1990, and 2002 respectively. The extracted results relatively agree with the information of waterline from the images.

There are a great number of index methods used to extract impervious surface from satellite images. However, these indices are not robust enough to detect steel framed roof due to the diversity of impervious materials. The extraction of steel framed roof information by remote sensing technology is becoming increasingly important because of its environmental and socio-economic significance. A new index, Normalized Difference Steel framed roof Index (NDSI) is proposed to extract steel framed roof surface information from TM images. The NDSI was created based on its spectral characteristics of TM image and the steel framed roof information can be extracted fast by NDSI threshold method. Additionally, Shijiazhuang city, which has experienced rapid urbanization, was chosen as the study area. And the classification results show that the new index NDSI can effectively extract steel framed roof information with higher accuracy.

Soil salinity is one of the most important problems affecting many areas of the world. Saline soils present in agricultural areas reduce the annual yields of most crops. This research deals with the soil salinity mapping of Seyhan plate of Adana district in Turkey from the years 2009 to 2010, using remote sensing technology. In the analysis, multitemporal data acquired from LANDSAT 7-ETM<sup>+</sup> satellite in four different dates (19 April 2009, 12 October 2009, 21 March 2010, 31 October 2010) are used. As a first step, preprocessing of Landsat images is applied. Several salinity indices such as NDSI (Normalized Difference Salinity Index), BI (Brightness Index) and SI (Salinity Index) are used besides some vegetation indices such as NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), RVI (Ratio Vegetation Index), SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) and EVI (Enhamced Vegetation Index) for the soil salinity mapping of the study area. The field’s electrical conductivity (EC) measurements done in 2009 and 2010, are used as a ground truth data for the correlation analysis with the original band values and different index image bands values. In the correlation analysis, two regression models, the simple linear regression (SLR) and multiple linear regression (MLR) are considered. According to the highest correlation obtained, the 21st March, 2010 dataset is chosen for production of the soil salinity map in the area. Finally, the efficiency of the remote sensing technology in the soil salinity mapping is outlined.

Urban thermal environment, as an important reflection of urban ecological environment, is affected strongly by urban land change, especially the loss of green land. By using remote sensing and GIS, two terms of remote images of Dongying city are studied to disclose vegetation coverage and land surface temperature that can reflect urban thermal environment.

The development of the city is influenced by the growth on the physical, economic, and social activities in the city. In the case of Semarang Regency, this development is included in the category fairly fast, particularly after the opening of toll road Semarang-Bawen. By utilizing remote sensing technology and satellite imagery, the pattern of these developments can be mapped and analyzed. The purpose of this study was to identify the pattern of development of space in Semarang Regency by using multitemporal Landsat images. The application of these images can be a mean of monitoring and controlling mechanism of the urban growth in the fast growing city in Central Java, such as in Semarang Regency. Hence, the focus of this analysis is on data of built up area. During the period of 43 years (1972 - 2015) land use change that occurred in the district of Semarang had increased for about 13,000 Ha or an average of 300 ha/year. The biggest changes are located in the Tengaran, Susukan and Bergas sub district that grow more than 20 ha / year.

Floods are one of the most devastating natural disasters that cause various losses by having an excess of rainfall in a short period of time, they cause a high flow in rivers, subsequently damaging crops and infrastructure. They also cause sedimentation of reservoirs and therefore limit the ability of existing dams to control floods. In other words, the purpose of assessing the risk of a flood is to identify the areas of a plan that are at risk of flooding based on the factors that are relevant to the risks of flooding. Therefore, it is important to create a flood map that is easy to read and quickly accessible. Maps provide a stronger and more direct impression of the spatial distribution of flood risk, like diagrams and verbal descriptions. On the other hand, the repeated taking of satellite images in periods of time of a few days makes it possible to know the evolution of the floods, helping the authorities to access the affected population, as well as to define safety areas. The current work aims to systematically evaluate the study of flood risk through remote sensing. A qualitative analysis was carried out through which 80 articles indexed between 2017 and 2021 were reviewed, distributed as follows: 49 articles are from Scopus, 10 from Ebsco and 21 from ScienceDirect; It is concluded that geographic information system together with remote sensing technology are the key tools for flood monitoring, as it is a very cost-effective way to reliably deliver the required data over a large area, as well as record data under extreme conditions to overcome the limitations of ground stations

One of the waters that has been contaminated by industrial waste and domestic waste is the waters in estuaries inlet of Semarang Eastern Flood Canal which is the estuary of the river system, which passes through the eastern city of Semarang which is dense with residential and industrial. So it is necessary to have information about the assessment of water quality in Estuaries Inlet of Semarang Eastern Flood Canal. Remote sensing technology can analyze the results of recording the spectral characteristics of water with water quality parameters. One of the parameters for assessing water quality is Chlorophyll-a and Total Suspended Solid, can be estimated through remote sensing technology using multispectral Sentinel-2A Satellite images. In this research there are 3 algorithms that will be used in determining the content of chlorophyll a, and for determining TSS. Image accuracy test is done to find out how far the image can give information about Chlorophyll-a and TSS in the waters. The results of the image accuracy test will be compared with the value of chlorophyll-a and TSS that have been tested through laboratory analysis. The result of this research is the distribution map of chlorophyll-a and TSS content in the waters.

Submarine pipelines must be designed to resist wave and current induced hydrodynamic forces especially in and near the surf zone. They are buried as protection against forces in the surf zone, however this procedure is not always feasible particularly on a movable sea bed. For this reason the characteristics of the sediment transport on the construction site of beaches should be investigated. In this investigation, the application of the remote sensing method is introduced in order to determine and observe the coastal morphology, so that submarine pipelines may be protected against undesirable seabed movement.
