Advances in Remote Sensing for Natural Resource Monitoring by Prem C. Pandey,Laxmi K. Sharma Pdf

Sustainable management of natural resources is an urgent need, given the changing climatic conditions of Earth systems. The ability to monitor natural resources precisely and accurately is increasingly important. New and advanced remote sensing tools and techniques are continually being developed to monitor and manage natural resources in an effective way. Remote sensing technology uses electromagnetic sensors to record, measure and monitor even small variations in natural resources. The addition of new remote sensing datasets, processing techniques and software makes remote sensing an exact and cost-effective tool and technology for natural resource monitoring and management. Advances in Remote Sensing for Natural Resources Monitoring provides a detailed overview of the potential applications of advanced satellite data in natural resource monitoring. The book determines how environmental and - ecological knowledge and satellite-based information can be effectively combined to address a wide array of current natural resource management needs. Each chapter covers different aspects of remote sensing approach to monitor the natural resources effectively, to provide a platform for decision and policy. This important work: Provides comprehensive coverage of advances and applications of remote sensing in natural resources monitoring Includes new and emerging approaches for resource monitoring with case studies Covers different aspects of forest, water, soil- land resources, and agriculture Provides exemplary illustration of themes such as glaciers, surface runoff, ground water potential and soil moisture content with temporal analysis Covers blue carbon, seawater intrusion, playa wetlands, and wetland inundation with case studies Showcases disaster studies s

Environmental Applications of Remote Sensing and GIS in Libya by Hamdi A. Zurqani Pdf

This book addresses the environmental challenges that Libya and similar countries in the regions are currently facing. Each chapter of this book provides a methodology using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS) dealing with one of these environmental challenges such as monitoring and mapping soil salinity and prediction of soil properties, monitoring and mapping of land degradation, spatiotemporal land use/cover, agricultural drought monitoring, hydrological applications such as spatial rainfall distribution, surface runoff, geo-morphometric analysis, flood hazard assessment and mapping, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, pollution hazard assessment, and climate-related geophysical processes. This book also assesses the impacts of climate change on natural resources using both RS and GIS, as well as other applications, covering different parts of Libya. This book is beneficial for graduate students, researchers, policy planners, and stakeholders in Libya as well as other countries that share similar environmental issues. Also, the methodologies followed in the book's chapters can be applied to any other regions around the world with similar landscapes and climatic conditions.

Mapping land cover in Tunisia by Sarvia, F.,Farren, K.,Khatteli, A.,Chiozza, F.,Maki, A.,Cherif, I.,Mushtaq, F.,Jalal, R.,Henry, M. Pdf

This report presents a comprehensive land cover map of Tunisia, highlighting cultivated land, olive trees, dates and orchards while integrating information on land water management practices. [Author] A land cover map was derived using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and stratified with water management data from currently existing data. [Author] Statistics illustrating the area of each class regionally and nationally were produced to provide accurate information on land cover classes distribution. [Author] Land cover information is essential to understanding the diverse range of ecosystems and agricultural land in Tunisia, particularly when looking to address climactic and socioeconomic challenges in the country. [Author] An accurate representation of agricultural land use is imperative when developing strategies for natural resource management and sustainable agricultural practices. [Author] Land cover mapping within the SolaWISe initiative facilities access to essential information on soil, land water and crop management, thus informing decision-making processes for enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability. [Author] This land cover map provides a robust foundation for developing insights into natural resource management and agricultural practices across Tunisia. [Author] It empowers stakeholders at national, regional and local levels to make informed decisions for sustainable crop production in the context of a changing climate. [Author] There is no information on water management practices in the south of Tunisia; producing these datasets would significantly improve our understanding of crop management systems and agricultural water productivity. [Author] In the future land cover maps can be expanded to include more intricate irrigation and crop type information, allowing stakeholders to develop a more intricate understanding of spatial variation in crop suitability and productivity.
