Abstract

This article examines the use of satellite imagery (Remote Sensing) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies for monitoring desertification processes and identifying high-risk areas. Desertification is accelerating in many regions of the world due to global climate change, declining water resources, and anthropogenic factors. During the study, a desertification risk assessment model was developed based on satellite imagery, GIS analysis, and remote sensing data. The proposed model enables the identification of desertification dynamics through the integrated analysis of vegetation cover, soil moisture, land surface temperature, and land use indicators. The research findings demonstrate that satellite monitoring and GIS technologies play a significant role in the early detection of environmental risks, the sustainable use of natural resources, and the prevention of environmental emergencies.
