Characterization of paleodrainages in desert regions of Saudi Arabia multisatellite images with field based study by Mashael M. Al Saud

“…Abstract In Saudi Arabia, a number of linear geomorphological features with uncertain origin have been observed from space, but they do not belong to any existed drainage systems. They are ancient watercourses carried water in the past during the Holocene deluge, and they were affected by global climate change and geological processes turning them into dry and buried channels filled by sediments, and these are described as “Paleodrainages”. …”
