About this book:

Global Change is increasingly considered a critical topic in environmental research. Remote sensing methods provide a relevant tool to monitor global variables, since they offer a systematic coverage of the Earth Surface, at different spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. The data provided by Earth Observation Satellites are being operationally used for monitoring atmospheric conditions, ice sheets and glaciar movements, crop dynamism and land use changes, deforestation and desertification processes, as well as water conditions. The book includes an analysis of the leading missions in global Earth observation, and then reviews the main fields in which remote sensing methods are providing vital data for global change studies.

Audience:

Academic libraries, practitioners, professionals, scientists, researchers, lecturers, tutors, graduates, undergraduates

Written for:

This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of remote sensing, geographical information, meteorology, geology and environmental sciences. Also scientists and graduate up to post-graduate level students in environmental science will find valuable information in this book.
