Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques in Hydrology
Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become essential tools in the field of hydrology, offering powerful methods for understanding and managing water resources. These technologies provide critical insights into hydrological processes, enabling better spatial analysis and decision-making to address environmental, social, and economic challenges related to water. From monitoring river basins and assessing flood risks to managing water quality and predicting droughts, remote sensing and GIS are revolutionizing how we study and interact with water systems. Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques in Hydrology delves into advanced principles and techniques, focusing on their inte...
Applying Remote Sensing and GIS for Spatial Analysis and Decision-Making
Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools for understanding our planet's complex systems and addressing a wide range of environmental, social, and economic challenges. With several environmental and social factors coming to a head, it is important that our society utilizes every tool at its disposal in order to identify these issues and make comprehensive action plans in order to avoid negative social and environmental consequences. Applying Remote Sensing and GIS for Spatial Analysis and Decision-Making offers a comprehensive exploration of the applications of remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and emerging technologies in spa...
Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on Health in Tropical and Subtropical Regions
Climate change and environmental pollution remain two primary areas of concern in today’s world. These detrimental influences continue to have a strong impact on various aspects of humanity, specifically public health in tropical regions. Researchers have seen neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affected by climate change and anthropogenic impacts. Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on Health in Tropical and Subtropical Regions is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the association of environmental pollutants and global warming with viruses in tropical regions. While highlighting topics such as pathogenicity, travel impact, and economic impacts, this publication explores the developments and trends in these areas of medicine and ecology, as well as prevention strategies to be used for educational and sensitization purposes. This book is ideally designed for doctors, medical practitioners, ecologists, epidemiologists, environmentalists, world health organizations, researchers, biologists, policymakers, academicians, and students.
Decision Support Methods for Assessing Flood Risk and Vulnerability
Each year, floods cause an enormous amount of global economic and social damage, impacting transportation systems, water supplies, agriculture, and health. Response management to catastrophic floods require increased measures involving integrated planning, adaptation, and recovery strategies in order to protect against human loss. Decision Support Methods for Assessing Flood Risk and Vulnerability is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of effective models and tools focused on the diagnosis of vulnerability to flooding risks and evaluates and measures the impact of floods on socio-economic wellbeing. While highlighting topics such as hydrological events, soil erosion, and flood vulnerability, this publication explores methods of identifying appropriate adaptation strategies. This book is ideally designed for researchers, students, academicians, policymakers, government officials, and technology developers seeking current empirical research findings to be used to improve the overall understanding of the flood phenomenon.
Assessing the Accuracy of Remotely Sensed Data
Accuracy assessment of maps derived from remotely sensed data has continued to grow since the first edition of this groundbreaking book. As a result, the much-anticipated new edition is significantly expanded and enhanced to reflect growth in the field. The new edition features three new chapters, including: Fuzzy accuracy assessmentPositional accu
Using ArcMap
"Using ArcMap" explains how to perform map-based tasks ranging from putting geographic information on a map to building interactive displays that link charts, tables, reports and photos to data. It also discusses ways to use ArcMap's editor to edit, create and update data and techniques for developing custom map-based applications. 800 color photos, 40 line drawings, 25 charts, 35 tables, 70 maps.

Models, Methods, Concepts & Applications of the Analytic Hierarchy Process
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a prominent and powerful tool for making decisions in situations involving multiple objectives. Models, Methods, Concepts and Applications of the Analytic Hierarchy Process, 2nd Edition applies the AHP in order to solve problems focused on the following three themes: economics, the social sciences, and the linking of measurement with human values. For economists, the AHP offers a substantially different approach to dealing with economic problems through ratio scales. Psychologists and political scientists can use the methodology to quantify and derive measurements for intangibles. Meanwhile researchers in the physical and engineering sciences can apply...
Migration and Environmental Change in Morocco
This open access book studies the migration aspirations and trajectories of people living in two regions in Morocco that are highly affected by environmental change or emigration, namely Tangier and Tinghir, as well as the migration trajectories of immigrants coming from these regions currently living in Belgium. This book departs from the development of a new theoretical framework on the relationship between environmental changes and migration that can be applied to the Moroccan case. Qualitative research conducted in both countries demonstrate how the interplay between migration and environmental factors is not as straightforward as it seems, due to its wider social, political, economic, d...
Contested Agronomy
The dramatic increases in food prices experienced over the last four years, and their effects of hunger and food insecurity, as well as human-induced climate change and its implications for agriculture, food production and food security, are key topics within the field of agronomy and agricultural research. Contested Agronomy addresses these issues by exploring key developments since the mid-1970s, focusing in particular on the emergence of the neoliberal project and the rise of the participation and environmental agendas, taking into consideration how these have had profound impacts on the practice of agronomic research in the developing world especially over the last four decades. This boo...
