| Abstract:
Lut Desert is one of the most interesting features in the world view point of wind
erosion forms and some geomorphologic features, such as sand dune, Yardangs and desert
pavement. In this study, we used 7 bands of Landsat TM data and colour composites dated
1987 and 1988, aerial photos (1/20.000) topographic maps (1/250.000 and 1/50.000) field
work and remotely sensed softwares. The obtained results have shown that 6 TM reflective
bands and TM thermal band are very usefull in the study of water resources, soil surface
moisture and rivers. The result of principal component analysis and other image processing
have shown that remotely sensed data are very usefull in the study of Lut desert in a
manner of time and money saving.
