Описание:
Every year, natural disasters cause substantial loss of life and livelihoods globally, costing an estimated over $100 billion per year in the form of property loss and mobilization of emergency response personnel and equipment. It is critical to monitor, model and predict the risks of natural hazards in order to save lives, enhance societal resilience to natural hazards, and reduce economic losses. Modern technologies such as remote sensing, geographical information system, and high-performance computation have greatly propelled advances in the studies of natural hazards. Remote sensing, in particular, is a useful and important tool for monitoring, modeling and early warning of natural hazards (e.g. landslides, floods, earthquakes, tornados). Recent advanced methods include but not limited in: optical images, satellite and ground-based SAR, airborne and terrestrial laser scanning, GNSS, hyperspectral imaging and sensor network. With the rapid development of technology, future improvements in resolution, precision, efficiency, accuracy and smartness can be expected.
The overall objectives of this proposed book is to review and summarize the recent progresses in the monitoring, modeling and early warning of natural hazards, including floods, landslides, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanoes, and collect novel techniques and discover potential applications.
The first section of the book will thus cover the methods and techniques used to monitor, detect and measure the natural hazard events and the means to obtain important informant and data to study nature hazards. The second section will describe the uses of remote sensing technologies to investigate the processes and causes of natural hazards and recent advances in the theories and mechanisms of natural hazards. Last, the third section will introduce the existing operational, early warning and forecasting systems for natural hazards.
This proposed book will include four sections: section one describes the methodologies used to monitor and detect the occurrences of natural hazards; section two summarizes the application of remote sensing technologies in investigating and understanding natural hazards; and section three provides an overview of the existing early warning and forecasting systems for natural hazards. In section one, we will present recent studies and advances that are focused on how to obtain important and necessary data to conduct the studies of natural hazards. In section two, we will compile recent advances in the theories and mechanisms that govern the processes and occurrences of natural hazards. In section three, the topic is shifted to the operational, early warning and forecasting systems for natural hazards.

Описание: Over the past decade, advances in sensor technology, processing algorithms, and computational capacity have taken remote sensing to a level where observations can be transformed into quantitative measurements, and the technology can be used in near real-time for mapping, monitoring and decision-making. For the third edition, this widely acclaimed book has been fully revised, enlarged and updated. It covers remote sensing in a wide range of optical, thermal, and microwave wavelengths and their host of geologic applications featuring sample applications from around the globe. In addition, it presents state-of-the-art content on emerging themes such as atmospheric interactions, spectroscopy, spectral indices, prospectivity modelling, and multi-sensor geodata integration. Thesubject matter is presented at a basic level, offering students an excellent introductory text on remote sensing. Further, the main part of the book will also be of great value to active researchers.Excerpt from the review of Remote Sensing Geology (2nd ed., 2003): International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 5 (2004) 239–240“....Graduate students, research workers and professional earth scientists will use this book to their advantage and with pleasure; it is well-written, to the point and with an emphasis on understanding the principles underlying this wide spectre of technology in its application to the earth sciences. Remote sensing is a fascinating subject; so is geology. The author has fully succeeded in providing a fascinating book that combines them in a handy volume.”

Описание: This volume gathers a variety of applications for remote sensing of vegetation health (VH) and concretely shows how this information can be used in service of ending hunger and of ensuring future food security. In this book’s ten chapters, Dr. Felix Kogan, one of the most prolific scientists in this sphere, shows how a new VH method, designed from operational environmental satellite data, can be used to provide advanced predictions of agricultural losses, helping to enhance food security and reducing the number of hungry people. Topics covered include the scientific basis of the VH method, drought monitoring, prediction of short-term agricultural yield and crop insurance, and impacts of long term climate variability and change on food security. A short discussion on VH for human health-related topics such as detection and prediction of malaria and fire risk is included as well.
