About this product
Product Information
As more natural lands are transformed into urban lands with more people in urban areas, it is important to understand how these environmental changes may impact living conditions and the ecosystem. This book summarizes current satellite observing capacities and the growing demand for continuous local, regional, and global observation data by different government agencies in many countries and research groups. It provides academic faculties, students, researchers, and government decision makers with a reference that summarizes the state-of-the-art in remote sensing techniques and environmental assessment methods.

Reviews
"The numerous research works summarized in this [book] are all adequately presented, thanks to the author's extensive knowledge of multiple applications of satellite data to urban environments. The content of each chapter refers to the latest developments in that area that should be known by everybody working or starting to work in urban remote sensing. ... excellent reading for anyone willing to be brought up to speed in this exciting research field." --Paolo Gamba, University of Pavia, Italy "Dr. George Xian is highly commended for writing the first book on urban remote sensing, which systematically covers an array of land, water, and air variables in the urban environment. Methodologies are well described, and examples are well illustrated. ... a must read for anyone engaged in urban environmental studies." --Jing M. Chen, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada "... provides a detailed look at the data and algorithms used to map and monitor the urban environment. In addition to its valuable historical perspective on sensor evolution, it clearly illustrates the strengths and limitations of different land cover classification methods. It will be particularly useful for those seeking a deeper understanding of the widely used land cover products developed by the USGS. However, the content goes beyond the mapping process to showcase a variety of environmental monitoring applications relevant to resource managers and public health professionals with a focus on the built environment. ... a valuable contribution to an important and rapidly growing field of interest." --Christopher Small, Columbia University, New York, USA, "The numerous research works summarized in this [book] are all adequately presented, thanks to the author's extensive knowledge of multiple applications of satellite data to urban environments.
