Informationen zum Autor Andrew Harris is a professor at Université Blaise Pascal (Clermont Ferrand, France) and holder of the Chaire d'Excellence for the Auvergne region. He is a member of the Remote Sensing Society, IAVCEI and AGU and has worked with a variety of ground- and satellite-based thermal data sets, having deployed experiments at active volcanoes in Africa, Europe, Central America, South America and Hawaii. Dr Harris has published over 130 publications in international scientific journals dedicated to thermal remote sensing and volcanology. His work has been recognised by several awards, including IAVCEI's Wager medal (2004) and the University of Hawai'i Regents' Medals for both excellence in research (2003) and teaching (2005). Klappentext A comprehensive manual exploring radiometry methodologies and principles used with satellite-, radiometer- and thermal-camera data, for academic researchers and graduate students. Zusammenfassung With a focus on volcanic hot spots! this comprehensive manual explores radiometry methodologies and principles used with satellite-! radiometer- and thermal-camera data. Fully illustrated with case studies! databases and worked examples! it is an invaluable resource for academic researchers and graduate students in thermal remote sensing! volcanology! geophysics and planetary studies.
