Cover Story: Since 2011, the Syrian civil war has caused a grave social and economic crisis in most of Syria. The conflict has destroyed the livelihoods of millions of people, triggered large-scale population displacements, and led to the large-scale abandonment of land. Demand for food and space at other sites, and other conflict-related human activities, have put enormous pressure on land systems. As the military conflict impedes the collection of information at ground level, multi-temporal Landsat imagery was applied to quantify changes in land cover between 2010 and 2018. Extensive changes for the six land cover categories cultivated areas, forests, urban areas, bare areas, rangelands, and water bodies, particularly between 2014 and 2018, were identified. Most of the change can be either directly or indirectly attributed to the serious implications of the conflict. View this paper
