Remote Sensing Applications for the Urban Environment (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As more natural lands are transformed into urban lands with more people in urban areas, it is important to understand how these environmental changes may impact living conditions and the ecosystem. This book summarizes current satellite observing capacities and the growing demand for continuous local, regional, and global observation data by different government agencies in many countries and research groups. It provides academic faculties, students, researchers, and government decision makers with a reference that summarizes the state-of-the-art in remote sensing techniques and environmental assessment methods.

Autorenporträt

George Xian has extensive experience in remote sensing data applications for the assessment of land cover change and climate variations. He has focused on using remote sensing information to investigate urban land use and land cover changes on both regional and national scales. He has also incorporated remote sensing derived urban land cover and land use information with other environmental information to investigate local and regional climate change, and air and water quality. In addition, Dr. Xian has published numerous journal papers and book chapters.
