Environmental Remote Sensing and Systems Analysis (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Chang, Ni-Bin

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Reflecting the dramatic changes in the field due to global climate change, economic development, and population growth, this book presents an integrated, quantitative, systems-level method of remote sensing that is essential for tracking down the dynamics of coupled natural and human systems. It provides systematic coverage of water quality monitoring, air quality monitoring, and land-use patterns and degradation, from the urban to the global scale. Focusing on applications to enhance field-oriented problem solving, it explores new methods and techniques to demonstrate state-of-the-art accomplishments and future trends in remote sensing.
