This book presents relevant and contemporary research on the remote sensing of landscapes
agriculture & forestry geomorphology coasts & oceans natural hazards and wild habitats. It
highlights the application of remote sensing in understanding natural processes and oceanic
features as well as in creating mapping inventories of water resources across different
spatial and temporal scales. Recent advances in hyperspectral imaging and high spatial
resolution offer promising techniques for exploring various aspects related to the fruitful and
cost-effective monitoring of large-scale environments. In the field of forestry and agriculture
the book addresses topics such as terrain analysis forest management updating current forest
inventories and vegetation cover type discrimination. It also elaborates delineation of
various geo-morphological features of the earth's surface and natural disasters and includes a
special section on the remote sensing of wild habitats. Readers working in interdisciplinary
sectors engaged in remote-sensing-based research benefit from the techniques presented.
