Satellite Remote Sensing of Natural Resources
Satellite Remote Sensing of Natural Resources offers an introduction to digital remote sensing. This comprehensive text emphasizes the basics, with simple concepts presented in clear, easy-to-understand language. For those who are interested in practical remote sensing but do not have an extensive background in math and statistics, this primer is invaluable. The main topics covered include satellite images, image processing systems, spectral regions, radiometric and geometric corrections, supervised and unsupervised classification, and accuracy assessment. Each chapter concludes with a section of sample problems and list of additional readings.
Agrarian Landscapes in Transition
Agrarian Landscapes in Transition researches human interaction with the earth. With hundreds of acres of agricultural land going out of production every day, the introduction, spread, and abandonment of agriculture represents the most pervasive alteration of the Earth's environment for several thousand years. What happens when humans impose their spatial and temporal signatures on ecological regimes, and how does this manipulation affect the earth and nature's desire for equilibrium? Studies were conducted at six Long Term Ecological Research sites within the US, including New England, the Appalachian Mountains, Colorado, Michigan, Kansas, and Arizona. While each site has its own unique agri...
The Ecology of Agricultural Landscapes
The latest volume in the Long-Term Ecological Research series, presenting two decades of research on the sustainability of temperate, row-crop ecosystems in the Midwestern United States.
Assessing the Accuracy of Remotely Sensed Data
Because the accuracy of remotely sensed data is critical to any successful mapping project, accuracy assessment is an important tool for anyone who uses remote sensing. This is a complete guide to assessing the accuracy of maps generated from remotely sensed data, and the only book available that is devoted solely to this complex topic.
Developing Ecological Consciousness
Developing Ecological Consciousness is a unique environmental studies textbook. Rather than working through a list of environmental problems, it aims to help students become aware of the awe and wonder of our planet, understand some of the challenges facing it, and explore possibilities for action and change. This text is invaluable for courses in a variety of disciplines, including environmental studies, biology, sociology, and political science.
Wetland and Environmental Applications of GIS
This new book presents powerful techniques that can be used to address issues and problems related to wetlands and surface waters. It is the first book of its kind to address inventory and management of wetlands and water quality problems using GIS and remote sensing technologies. Wetland and Environmental Applications of GIS describes a variety of techniques, applications, and case studies for evaluating wetland and surface water characteristics at the landscape scale. The book details wetland and environmentally-oriented surface water resource studies using spatial and spectral based technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, computer modeling, and image display. Introductory material is in...
