Remote Sensing of Ocean and Coastal Environments advances the
scientific understanding and application of technologies to address
a variety of areas relating to sustainable development, including
environmental systems analysis, environmental management, clean
processes, green chemistry and green engineering. Through each
contributed chapter, the book covers ocean remote sensing, ocean
color monitoring, modeling biomass and the carbon of oceanic
ecosystems, sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity,
ocean monitoring for oil spills and pollutions, coastal erosion and
accretion measurement. This book is aimed at those with a common
interest in oceanography techniques, sustainable development and
other diverse backgrounds within earth and ocean science fields.
This book is ideal for academicians, scientists, environmentalists,
meteorologists, environmental consultants and computing experts
working in the areas of earth and ocean sciences.
A field-defining collection of new voices on gender, feminism, and
geography. Feminist Geography Unbound is a call to action-to expand
imaginations and to read and travel more widely and carefully
through terrains that have been cast as niche, including Indigenous
and decolonial feminisms, Black geographies, and trans geographies.
The original essays in this collection center three themes to
unbind and enable different feminist futures: discomfort as a site
where differences generate both productive and immobilizing
frictions, gendered and racialized bodies as sites of political
struggle, and the embodied work of building the future. Drawing on
diverse theoretical backgrounds and a range of field sites,
contributors consider how race, gender, citizenship, and class
often determine who feels comfort and who is tasked with producing
it. They work through bodies as terrains of struggle that make
claims to space and enact political change, and they ask how these
politics prefigure the futures that we fear or desire. The book
also champions feminist geography as practice, through interviews
with feminist scholars and interludes in which feminist collectives
speak to their experience inhabiting and transforming academic
spaces. Feminist Geography Unbound is grounded in a feminist
geography that has long forced the discipline to grapple with the
production of difference, the unequal politics of knowledge
production, and gender's constitutive role in shaping social life.
Surveying the Covid-19 Pandemic and Its Implications: Urban Health,
Data Technology and Political Economy explores social, economic,
and policy impacts of COVID-19 that will persist for some time.
This timely book surveys the COVID-19 from a holistic, high level
perspective, examining such topics as Urban health policy responses
impact on cities economies, Urban economic impacts of supply chain
disruption, The need for coherent short term urban policies that
aligns with long term goals, The rise to citizen science
initiatives, The role of open data, The need for protocols to
support research collaborations, Building larger infectious disease
modelling datasets, NS Advanced computing tools for health policy.
Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome covers the latest research on
the biological, motivational, cognitive, situational, and
dispositional factors that drive activity-travel behavior.
Organized into three sections, Retrospective and Prospective Survey
of Travel Behavior Research, New Research Methods and Findings, and
Future Research, the chapters of this book provide evidence of
progress made in the most recent years in four dimensions of the
travel behavior genome. These dimensions are Substantive Problems,
Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks, Behavioral Measurement, and
Behavioral Analysis. Including the movement of goods as well as the
movement of people, the book shows how traveler values, norms,
attitudes, perceptions, emotions, feelings, and constraints lead to
observed behavior; how to design efficient infrastructure and
services to meet tomorrow's needs for accessibility and mobility;
how to assess equity and distributional justice; and how to assess
and implement policies for improving sustainability and quality of
life. Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome examines the paradigm
shift toward more dynamic, user-centric, demand-responsive
transport services, including the "sharing economy," mobility as a
service, automation, and robotics. This volume provides research
directions to answer behavioral questions emerging from these
upheavals.
