A Brief Account of the General Organization of Remote Sensing (GORS) in Syria and its Activities

摘要

GORS was constituted in Syria in February 1986. Located in Damascus, GORS cooperates with some government bodies, all Arab countries, foreign countries, and international bodies. GORS carries out studies and projects on remote sensing applications to geology, hydrology, hydrogeology, agriculture, urban planning, environment, meteorology, and archeology, by using LANDSAT and SPOT images. GORS publishes space atlases of Syria, glossaries of remote sensing terminology, and journals of remote sensing. Further, GORS organises courses and an international symposium.
