Description:
|
Remote sensing - measuring and mapping the Earth’s surface from aircraft or satellites - helps us to rapidly detect and better manage geohazards. The hazardous terrains examined include landslides, flooding, contaminated land, shrink-swell clays, subsidence, fault zones and volcanic landforms. Key aspects of remote sensing are introduced, making this a book that is suitable for non-specialists. Featured remote sensing systems include aerial photography, thermal scanning, hyperspectral sensors, laser altimetry (LiDAR), radar interferometry and multispectral satellites (Landsat, ASTER). Related methodogies, such as the processing of Digital Elevation Models and data analysis using Geographical Information Systems, are also discussed. |
