Digital Mapping of Toxic Metals in Qatari Soils Using Remote Sensing and Ancillary Data

After decades of mining and industrialization in Qatar, it is important to estimate their impact on soil pollution with toxic metals. The study utilized 300 topsoil (0–30 cm) samples, multi-spectral images (Landsat 8), spectral indices and environmental variables to model and map the spatial distrib...
