Produktbeschreibung
As debates about climate change and sustainability intensify, national parks and other protected lands become more important as indicators of ecosystem conditions. Providing a suite of remote sensing-based approaches for the protected lands around the world, this book addresses contemporary issues in monitoring, conservation planning, and ecosystem forecasting. Case studies explore remote sensing applications and examine advanced remote sensing technologies, including airborne and spaceborne high spatial resolution imageries, multispectral and multitemporal time series data, satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), and the integration of remote sensing and field measurements for information extraction and modeling.
