The data of the US Landsat 8 were used in mapping out the distribution of marshes by using salinity models for the study area. It was compared with the sites of marshes that were previously mapped. A model was created to find new marshes, so that larger marsh areas be can also be identified.
MODIS (MOD 11A1) data are used to detect the surface temperatures of the Mecca region, which can be used to map the rock distribution in the region in order to identify and assess its renewable energy resources.
