Landsat images acquired in 1972, 1984 and 1988, 1999 and 2006, and 2014 are used to make the diachronic study. The Senegal River delta (study area) corresponds to the St. Louis, Louga, Podor, Dagana localities where the dynamic of land cover is very particular compared to national and most sub-region dynamics. The paper covers use of Landsat images to correct for land classifications, information differences, and accuracy of modelling. The study maps changes in order to locate types of changes, and measure their areal extent.application/pdfenWATER MANAGEMENTLAND USE CHANGELANDSATSATELLITE IMAGESDEFORESTATIONREMOTE SENSINGRIVER BASINSDELTASSENEGALSOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
