Remote Sensing the Mekong (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Mekong Basin in Southeast Asia is one of the largest international river basins in the world, providing the basis for the livelihoods of over 75 million people. However, ongoing socio-economic growth and related anthropogenic interventions impact the region's ecosystems, and there is an urgent need for the monitoring of the basins' land surface dynamics. Remote sensing has evolved as a key tool for this task, allowing for up-to-date analyses and regular monitoring of environmental dynamics beyond physical or political boundaries and at various temporal and spatial scales. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing.
