Using a systems analysis approach and extensive case studies,
Environmental Remote Sensing and Systems Analysis shows how remote
sensing can be used to support environmental decision making. It
presents a multidisciplinary framework and the latest remote
sensing tools to understand environmental impacts, management
complexity, and policy implications. Organized into three parts,
this full-color book provides systematic coverage of water quality
monitoring, air quality monitoring, and monitoring of land use
patterns and degradation. Chapters elaborate on the interactions
between human and natural systems, addressing questions such as
"what are the regional impacts of an oil spill in coastal
environments?" and "how does urbanization affect the rate of
infiltration of water at urban-rural interfaces?" Throughout,
contributors discuss new techniques and methods for measurements,
mathematical modeling, and image processing. Key features: Compares
data mining, machine learning, and image processing methods to help
you select the best one for your needs Incorporates ground-based
monitoring networks as part of air and water quality management
Emphasizes environmental information management, with proper
integration of GPS, GIS, and existing environmental databases Shows
how modeling can be used for decision making Examines how remote
sensing can be used to understand environmental health implications
and to shape environmental management policies Demonstrates how
systems analysis can be used to aid in environmental policy
analysis Discusses opportunities for integrated field and
laboratory studies in remote sensing education A useful reference
for students, professionals, scientists, and policy makers in
environmental management and informatics as well as environmental,
agricultural, forest, and sustainability sciences, this book shows
readers how to m
