Available global population grids suffer from limitations that constrain their usability. The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) may benefit population disaggregation and mapping. We test the integration of the GHSL built-up grid and the Gridded Population of the World (GPW) in order to refine the mapping of population distribution in Syria, for the year 2000, greatly improving depiction of population...
36 ENVISAT ASAR images acquired in 2002 to 2010 along descending passes with nominal revisiting time of 35 days were processed over the whole region of Homs, western Syria, by implementing the low-pass Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) technique. More than 280,000 coherent pixels with ∼100m ground resolution were obtained. We analysed pixel spatial distribution in respect of local geology and land use,...
Syria's Strategic location and presence of several parties with quite opposite interests have made the ongoing conflict over Syria a potential risk for sparking another World War. The Graph Model for Conflict Resolution is used to model and analyze the current conflict in Syria.

This research found that many of Syrian IS companies don't have a formal risk method, and using risk management will increase the success rate...
E-archaeology is a project born in Syria and developed initially by Vicken Abajian. The project is related to document antiquities and monuments management. Globally, E-archaeology appears as an expert system of archaeology data capture, storage and analysis. We can experiment with it in the large in a particularly complex, archeologically speaking, country: Syria with an interesting international...
