Zusatztext ... certainly fills a critical niche in remote sensing applications!since not many remote sensing textbooks deal with the dynamicsof complex coastal environments. This book is edited by Professor Yeqiao Wang!an internationally known expert in the field of coastal remote sensing. Most of the contributing authors are well-respected researchers. The book is suitable for use by advanced undergraduate students!graduate students! and practitioners in the field. -Yang Shoo! PhD! Research Associate! National Research Counsel! United States Environmental Protection Agency!in Photogrammetric! December 2010All in all! this publication covers many remote sensing techniques and their various current applications.... it is no doubt an extremely useful and informative body of work for those already familiar with the subject matter covered. One suspects that the evolution of remote sensing techniques will be more rapid than the coastal changes that they are now being used to detect and monitor. For this reason! it is highly probable that we shall see more on this theme in the future.... this publication represents an excellent snapshot of the current situation.-Nick Bray! Terra et Aqua!2010 Informationen zum Autor Yeqiao Wang Klappentext Edited by a PECASE award recipient, this book provides unrivaled coverage of the issues unique to coastal environments. It presents the best available data for measuring and monitoring coastal zones and explains how to use this data to address current issues in coastal zone management. The text illustrates recent developments in active remote sensing, hyperspectral remote sensing, high spatial resolution remote sensing, the integration of remote sensing, and in situ data. Covering the effects of land-cover and land-use change on coastal environments, the book includes case studies that illustrate remote sensing applications in coastal issues. Zusammenfassung Provides coverage of the issues unique to coastal environments.
