Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los métodos cuantitativos son frecuentemente utilizados en los estudios del Territorio y del Medio Ambiente. Permiten simular y predecir determinados procesos que operan en la naturaleza. Ayudan a conocer mejor el funcionamiento de sistemas biofísicos y socioeconómicos complejos en los que intervienen multitud de factores. Pero lo más significativo y, sin duda, esperanzador hoy día para la revitalización de este tipo de métodos, dentro del ámbito de la geografía y quizá de todas la Ciencias Ambientales, sea la contribución de las nuevas tecnologías de información geográfica al análisis y modelización espacial.

Book excerpt: Los problemas medioambientales del planeta se muestran cada día más cercanos al hombre de la calle. Se busca un modelo de desarrollo más armónico, donde la Naturaleza sea, a la vez, fuente de recursos y lugar de esparcimiento, donde la Humanidad aprenda lecciones de equilibrio y amor a lo bello. La Teledetección es una técnica que puede aportar una información muy valiosa para el medio ambiente. La observación terrestre que realizan los satélites de recursos naturales facilita una información crítica sobre el estado de la cubierta vegetal o las superficies marinas, complementando la adquirida por otros medios convencionales, como la fotografía aérea o los trabajos de campo.

Download or read book Remote Sensing and Water Resources written by A. Cazenave and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of overview articles showing how space-based observations, combined with hydrological modeling, have considerably improved our knowledge of the continental water cycle and its sensitivity to climate change. Two main issues are highlighted: (1) the use in combination of space observations for monitoring water storage changes in river basins worldwide, and (2) the use of space data in hydrological modeling either through data assimilation or as external constraints. The water resources aspect is also addressed, as well as the impacts of direct anthropogenic forcing on land hydrology (e.g. ground water depletion, dam building on rivers, crop irrigation, changes in land use and agricultural practices, etc.). Remote sensing observations offer important new information on this important topic as well, which is highly useful for achieving water management objectives.Over the past 15 years, remote sensing techniques have increasingly demonstrated their capability to monitor components of the water balance of large river basins on time scales ranging from months to decades: satellite altimetry routinely monitors water level changes in large rivers, lakes and floodplains. When combined with satellite imagery, this technique can also measure surface water volume variations. Passive and active microwave sensors offer important information on soil moisture (e.g. the SMOS mission) as well as wetlands and snowpack. The GRACE space gravity mission offers, for the first time, the possibility of directly measuring spatio-temporal variations in the total vertically integrated terrestrial water storage. When combined with other space observations (e.g. from satellite altimetry and SMOS) or model estimates of surface waters and soil moisture, space gravity data can effectively measure groundwater storage variations. New satellite missions, planned for the coming years, will complement the constellation of satellites monitoring waters on land. This is particularly the case for the SWOT mission, which is expected to revolutionize land surface hydrology. Previously published in Surveys in Geophysics, Volume 37, No. 2, 2016

Download or read book Remote Sensing Applications for the Urban Environment written by George Z. Xian and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land use and land cover changes associated with increased urbanization have led to landscape and environmental changes throughout the world. Remote Sensing Applications for the Urban Environment places emphasis on the rapid development of worldwide urbanization and its impact on the environment, and reviews the assessment of urban land cover conditions using remote sensing data. The book examines current satellite observation capacities, the use of remote sensing data to characterize urban extent and urban land cover, and the applications of satellite-derived data for urban environment assessments. It also introduces cutting-edge assessment methods and remote sensing techniques for characterizing high-resolution imagery of urban areas in different ecological environments. Focuses on the latest progress in urban remote sensing and technologies used to monitor urban land use and land cover conditions Introduces several methods used to extract urban landscape features using high-resolution imagery Details the methods currently used for assessing urban vegetation, impervious surface, and urban land use and land cover conditions Describes how to use multi-temple satellite images to monitor urban growth around the world An up-to-date reference reflecting the state of the art in both remote sensing and the environmental assessment of urban areas, Remote Sensing Applications for the Urban Environment summarizes current satellite observing capacities and the growing demand for consistent and continuous local, regional, and global observation data by different government agencies throughout the world. This book serves academic faculties, students, researchers, and government decision makers.

Download or read book Environmental Applications of Remote Sensing and GIS in Libya written by Hamdi A. Zurqani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2023-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the environmental challenges that Libya and similar countries in the regions are currently facing. Each chapter of this book provides a methodology using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS) dealing with one of these environmental challenges such as monitoring and mapping soil salinity and prediction of soil properties, monitoring and mapping of land degradation, spatiotemporal land use/cover, agricultural drought monitoring, hydrological applications such as spatial rainfall distribution, surface runoff, geo-morphometric analysis, flood hazard assessment and mapping, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, pollution hazard assessment, and climate-related geophysical processes. This book also assesses the impacts of climate change on natural resources using both RS and GIS, as well as other applications, covering different parts of Libya. This book is beneficial for graduate students, researchers, policy planners, and stakeholders in Libya as well as other countries that share similar environmental issues. Also, the methodologies followed in the book's chapters can be applied to any other regions around the world with similar landscapes and climatic conditions.
