Abstract: Geomatics on Lebanese karst, applied research in the Arz Jaj Nature reserve (Byblos). The karst of the Jurassic bastion of Jabal Jaj is highly developed. The altitude reaches 1959 m and precipitation amounts of 1700 mm per year. Mapping using the classical methods of photokarstology and field visits has given a satisfactory idea of Arz Jaj Nature Reserve karst in conjunction with the existing lithology mainly formed of limestone and dolomites. New geomatics methods, based on high resolution drone imagery, allow the details mapping of karst expressed in closed depressions and inaccessible karst towers.
