Abstract
New geological maps of Northern Kurdistan have been created using existing geological maps integrated with high resolution satellite data (SPOT™ and LANDSAT™) and ground-truthed by field observations. The satellite mapping has been further refined by mapping stratigraphic boundaries, bedding surfaces, fracture and fault planes and lithologies observed in field.
