Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processing

Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processing, 9780415302241 (0415302242), CRC Press, 2004

Remotely-sensed data has become important for the analysis, characterization and modeling of a wide array of land surface processes, whether biophysical or human, in the earth system sciences. These processes range from changes in vegetation over time and in response to climate changes and the impact of humans, through to even more complex changes in ecosystem dynamics such as in nutrient cycling, biomass or water levels. Although remote sensing is recognized as a powerful tool in the collection, analysis and modeling of environmental data, less attention has been given to the use of thermal, and especially thermal infrared, remote sensing. This is especially useful for understanding the fluxes and redistribution of materials as a key aspect of land surface processes and land-atmosphere interrelationships.Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processes presents contributions that elucidate the utility of thermal infrared remote sensing data from researchers in a range of fields. Students and researchers in the wide range of earth system sciences should find this an invaluable book, whether they are geographers, geologists, climatologists, hydrologists, landscape ecologists or other environmental scientists.
