EO can provide high spatial, temporal and spectral resolution, stereo-mapping and all-weather-imaging capabilities, but not by a single satellite at a time. Improved satellite and sensor technologies, increased frequency of satellite measurements, and easier access and interpretation of EO information have all contributed to the increased demand for satellite EO data. EO, combined with complementary terrestrial observations and with physical models, have been widely used to monitor geohazards, revolutionizing our understanding of how the Earth system works.Earth Observations for GeohazardsLiDARInSARremote sensingearthquakeUAVlandslideland subsidenceearth observationsurface displacementgeohazardsdeformationopticaldamage assessmentZhenhong Li (Ed.)auth1278684Roberto Tomás (Ed.)authBOOK9910220020203321Earth Observations for Geohazards3013728UNINA
