Land Surface Remote Sensing: Environment and Risks explores the use
of remote sensing in applications concerning the environment,
including desertification and monitoring deforestation and forest
fires. The first chapter covers the characterization of aerosols
and gases by passive remote sensing. The next chapter presents the
correlation of optical images for quantifying the deformation of
the Earth's surface and geomorphological processes. The third
chapter is examines remote sensing applications in the mining
environment. The fourth chapter depicts the strong potential of
radar imagery for volcanology and urban and mining subsidence
studies. The next two chapters deal respectively with the use of
remote sensing in locust control and the contribution of remote
sensing to the epidemiology of infectious diseases. In the last ten
years, spatial observation of the Earth-particularly continental
surfaces-has expanded considerably with the launch of increasing
numbers of satellites covering various applications (hydrology,
biosphere, flow of surface, snow, ice, landslide, floods). This has
paved the way for an explosion in the use of remote sensing data.
This book offers essential coverage of space-based observation
techniques for continental surfaces. The authors explore major
applications and provide a corresponding detailed chapter for the
physical principles, physics of measurement, and data processing
requirements for each technique, bringing you up-to-date
descriptions of techniques used by leading scientists in the field
of remote sensing and Earth observation.
