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.
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.
Taking a realist approach, this insightful book looks at the forces
shaping the evolution of global infrastructure networks. As the
international economy globalises, there is an emergent need for
national systems to adapt and integrate to form a global system.
The authors expose the move to interconnect state infrastructures
as a strategy to support and enhance states' territoriality.
Examined through the lens of economic infrastructure (including
transport, energy and information) this book addresses the forces
of integration and fragmentation in the development of global
networks. The significant impact of globalisation on infrastructure
adaptation is especially highlighted, as well as the key
limitations hindering development. Global Infrastructure Networks
will be of great interest to academics and graduate students of
geography, political economy and public policy. International
policy makers will also find this a compelling read, as it
identifies the benefits and limitations of upcoming developments in
global infrastructure.
Since antiquity, artists have visualized the known world through
the female (sometimes male) body. In the age of exploration,
America was added to figures of Europe, Asia, and Africa who would
come to inhabit the borders of geographical visual imagery. In the
abundance of personifications in print, painting, ceramics,
tapestry, and sculpture, do portrayals vary between hierarchy and
global human dignity? Are we witnessing the emergence of
ethnography or of racism? Yet, as this volume shows, depictions of
bodies as places betray the complexity of human claims and desires.
Bodies and Maps: Early Modern Personifications of the Continents
opens up questions about early modern politics, travel literature,
sexualities, gender, processes of making, and the mobility of forms
and motifs. Contributors are: Louise Arizzoli, Elisa Daniele,
Hilary Haakenson, Elizabeth Horodowich, Maryanne Cline Horowitz,
Ann Rosalind Jones, Paul H. D. Kaplan, Marion Romberg, Mark Rosen,
Benjamin Schmidt, Chet Van Duzer, Bronwen Wilson, and Michael
Wintle.
