Water resources are essential for the ecological system and the development of civilization. Water is imperative factor for health preservation and sustaining various human activities, including industrial production, agriculture, and daily life. Remote sensing provides a cost-effective and practical means to detect and monitor water bodies, offers valuable insights into the impact of climatic events on water structures, especially in coastal lake regions.

In order to evaluate the effects of forest fires on the dynamics of the function and structure of ecosystems, it is necessary to determine burned forest areas with high accuracy, effectively, economically, and practically using satellite images. Extraction of burned forest areas utilizing high-resolution satellite images and image classification algorithms and assessing the successfulness of varied classification algorithms has become a prominent research field. This study aims to indicate on the capability of the deep learning-based Stacked Autoencoders method for the burned forest areas mapping from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

The surface areas of lakes alter constantly due to many factors such as climate change, land use policies, and human interventions, and their surface areas tend to decrease. It is necessary for obtain baseline datasets such as surface areas and boundaries of water bodies with high accuracy, effectively, economically, and practically by using satellite images in terms of management and planning of lakes. Extracting surface areas of water bodies using image classification algorithms and high-resolution RGB satellite images and evaluating the effectiveness of different image classification algorithms have become an important research domain.
