About this book

During the past twenty years, thousands of remotely sensed imageries have been used by scholars all over the world for monitoring, among other things, landscape changes, the vulnerability of natural resources and the impact of man's activities on the environment. The use of such images follows a multi-discipline approach marked by experimental stages based on the identification of interpretative keys and the performance of ground checks. This book will provide students, teachers and scholars, among others, with a critical and up-to-date review of remote sensing, covering acquisition, elaboration and the interpretation of data. A wide range of examples, in large part, the result of the author's experience, provide a comprehensive view of the remote sensing applications in the domain of earth sciences.
