This third edition of the bestselling Remote Sensing for
Geologists: A Guide to Image Interpretation is now titled Remote
Sensing for Geoscientists: Image Analysis and Integration. The
title change reflects that this edition applies to a broad spectrum
of geosciences, not just geology; stresses that remote sensing has
become more than photointerpretation; and emphasizes integration of
multiple remote sensing technologies to solve Earth science
problems. The text reviews systems and applications, explains what
to look for when analyzing imagery, and provides abundant case
histories to illustrate the integration and application of these
tools. See What's New in the Second Edition: Broader coverage to
include integration of multiple remote sensing technologies
Expanded with significant new illustrations in color and reviews of
new satellites and sensors Analysis of imagery for geobotanical
remote sensing, remote geochemistry, modern analogs to ancient
environments, and astrogeology The book covers how to initiate a
project, including determining the objective, choosingthe right
tools, and selecting imagery. It describes techniques used in
geologic mapping and mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, image
analysis used in mine development and petroleum exploitation, site
evaluation, groundwaterdevelopment, surface water monitoring,
geothermal resource exploitation, and logistics. It also
demonstrates how imageryis used to establish environmental
baselines; monitor land, air, and water quality; maphazards; and
determine the effects of global warming. The many examples of
geologic mapping on other planets and the moon highlight how to
analyze planetary surface processes, map stratigraphy, and locate
resources. The book then examines remote sensing and the public,
geographic information systems and Google Earth, and how imagery is
used by the media, in the legal system, in public relations, and by
individuals. Readers should come away with a good understanding of
what is involved in image analysis and interpretation and should be
ableto recognize and identify geologic features of interest. Having
read this book, they should be able to effectively use imagery in
petroleum, mining, groundwater, surface water, engineering, and
environmental projects.
