Ebook: Environmental Applications of Remote Sensing

ITexLi (ExLi4EvA), 2016. – 405 p. – ISBN: 9535124447; 9535124439This book contains high quality and compressive work on both microwave and optical remote sensing applications, and the innovation in space technologies creates a new trend for the Earth observation and monitoring from space.
The book is divided into five sections:
- remote sensing for biomass estimation,
- remote sensing-based glacier studies,
- remote sensing for coastal and ocean applications,
- sewage leaks and environment disasters, and
- remote sensing image processing.
Each chapter offers an opportunity to expand the knowledge about various remote sensing techniques and persuade researchers to deliver new research novelty for environment studies.
