This edited volume sheds new light on the impact of rapid Land Use Cover Changes (LU CC) on
greenhouse gases (GHG's) and aerosol emissions in South and Southeast Asia. Several countries
in South Southeast Asia have the highest population growth rates in the world which is the
main cause for LU CC. Conversion of dense forests to agricultural areas and then to residential
and urban areas is most commonly observed in South Southeast Asian countries with a significant
release of GHG's and aerosols. The book showcases several case studies on the use of remote
sensing and geospatial technologies to quantify biomass burning and air pollution impacts
aerosol pollution LU CC and impacts on ecosystem services. The book also includes articles on
regional initiatives in research capacity building and training. The authors of this book are
international experts in the field and their contributions highlight significant drivers and
impacts of air pollution in South SoutheastAsia. Readers will discover the latest tools and
techniques in particular the use of satellite remote sensing and geospatial technologies for
quantifying GHG's aerosols and pollution episodes in this region.
