Thesis assesses the utility of OOA to map complex gully erosion features, using the morphometric and the spectral properties derivative from HRI (GeoEye-1); presets a method to detect changes in gully systems by conceptualizing change in the context of various stakeholders; a technique is developed for predicting gully systems, using medium resolution ASTER imagery in the absence of HRI for the whole study region; makes an attempt to relate the LISEM simulation results to the gully systems identified by OOA, to assess the gully erosion rates; provides a summary of the results obtained, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages associated with the techniques used or developed.
