Remote Sensing plays a key role in monitoring the various
manifestations of global climate change. It is used routinely in
the assessment and mapping of biodiversity over large areas, in the
monitoring of changes to the physical environment, in assessing
threats to various components of natural systems, and in the
identification of priority areas for conservation.
This book presents the fundamentals of remote sensing
technology, but rather than containing lengthy explanations of
sensor specifications and operation, it concentrates instead on the
application of the technology to key environmental systems. Each
system forms the basis of a separate chapter, and each is
illustrated by real world case studies and examples.
Readership
The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students in earth science, environmental science, or physical
geography taking a course in environmental remote sensing. It will
also be an invaluable reference for environmental scientists and
managers who require an overview of the use of remote sensing in
monitoring and mapping environmental change at regional and global
scales.
