Effectively Manage Wetland Resources Using the Best Available
Remote Sensing Techniques Utilizing top scientists in the wetland
classification and mapping field, Remote Sensing of Wetlands:
Applications and Advances covers the rapidly changing landscape of
wetlands and describes the latest advances in remote sensing that
have taken place over the past 30 years for use in mapping
wetlands. Factoring in the impact of climate change, as well as a
growing demand on wetlands for agriculture, aquaculture, forestry,
and development, this text considers the challenges that wetlands
pose for remote sensing and provides a thorough introduction on the
use of remotely sensed data for wetland detection. Taking advantage
of the experiences of more than 50 contributing authors, the book
describes a variety of techniques for mapping and classifying
wetlands in a multitude of environments ranging from tropical to
arctic wetlands including coral reefs and submerged aquatic
vegetation. The authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
using different remote sensing techniques for wetland detection
under varied conditions and circumstances. They also analyze
commonly available data, reveal cost-effective methods, and offer
useful insights into future trends. Comprised of 25 chapters, this
text: Presents methods readily applicable to real-world challenges
Contains advanced, new techniques communicated by top scientists in
the field Covers a diverse set of landscapes and technologies
Reviews many of the datasets and techniques that are responsible
for advances in this discipline and their application for wetland
mapping Addresses the need to effectively manage this environmental
resource Remote Sensing of Wetlands: Applications and Advances uses
a variety of contributors, touching on pertinent topics, to help
you gain a greater understanding of the latest technologies,
strengths, and limitations surrounding this emerging field.
