Headquartered in Damascus, GORS is responsible for carrying out aerospace and land surveying using remote sensing techniques.[1][2] In 2018, the agency assisted the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in assessing the impacts of its irrigation projects on the production of crops such as wheat and barley in Syria.[3]
