Global Change is increasingly considered a critical topic in environmental research. Remote sensing methods provide a useful tool to monitor global variables, since they provide a systematic coverage of the Earth?s surface, at different spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. This book offers an analysis of the leading missions in global Earth observation, and reviews the main fields in which remote sensing methods are providing vital data for global change studies.
State of the Art review of contribution of Earth Observation Data to monitoring Global Change in a wide range of disciplines
Covers a wide range: hyperspectral sensors, optical, radar, lidar, low and high-resolution data
By scientists working actively in this field from several countries: US, France, Belgium, Spain
