This edited volume focuses on the use of remote sensing techniques
to assess and monitor mountainous ecosystems in Africa, with a
focus on tracking changes related to climate change and human
activity. The book is timely, as the interaction of mountain
environmental dynamics with conservation and sustainability is an
under-researched issue. The chapters in this volume use remotely
sensed data to study a variety of topics related to mountains and
their ecosystems, including but not limited to vegetation, energy
systems, environmental hazards, ecosystem services, diseases,
climatic shifts, geological formations and geomorphological
dynamics. The ability to monitor, assess and analyze mountainous
regions is aided by the availability of remote sensing products
such as optical and microwave sensors and low-cost unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). The works presented here push the frontier of
knowledge on mountain studies and will help shape local, national
and global assessments and policies, including efforts toward the
achievement of the African Agenda 2063. The book will be of
interest to researchers and students in remote sensing, geography,
ecology and sustainability, as well as to government organizations
and conservation specialists.
