Over the years, the interactions between land, ocean, biosphere and
atmosphere have increased, mainly due to population growth and
anthropogenic activities, which have impacted the climate and
weather conditions at local, regional and global scales. Thus,
natural hazards related to climate changes have significantly
impacted human life and health on different spatio-temporal scales
and with socioeconomic bearings. To monitor and analyze natural
hazards, satellite data have been widely used in recent years by
many developed and developing countries. In an effort to better
understand and characterize the various underlying processes
influencing natural hazards, and to carry out related impact
assessments, Natural Hazards: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and
Landslides, presents a synthesis of what leading scientists and
other professionals know about the impacts and the challenges when
coping with climate change. Combining reviews of theories and
methods with analysis of case studies, the book gives readers
research information and analyses on satellite geophysical data,
radar imaging and integrated approaches. It focuses also on dust
storms, coastal subsidence and remote sensing mapping. Some case
studies explore the roles of remote sensing related to landslides
and volcanoes. Overall, improved understanding of the processes
leading to these hazardous events will help scientists predict
their occurrence. Features Provides information on the physics and
physical processes of natural hazards, their monitoring and the
mapping of damages associated with these hazards Explains how
natural hazards are strongly associated with coupling between
land-ocean-atmosphere Includes a comprehensive overview of the role
of remote sensing in natural hazards worldwide Examines risk
assessment in urban areas through numerical modelling and
geoinformation technologies Demonstrates how data analysis can be
used to aid in prediction and management of natural hazards
