There is a rapidly growing need for technologies that will enable monitoring of the world's natural resources and urban assets, and managing exposure to natural and man-made risks. The Group on Earth Observation calls for strengthening the cooperation and coordination among global observing systems and research programs. The book introduces this important international collaborative effort, reviews the current state of global urban remote sensing, and expands on future directions in the field. --Provided by publisher.Taylor & Francis series in remote sensing applications.Urban geographyRemote sensingInternational cooperationLand use, UrbanRemote sensingInternational cooperationEnvironmental monitoringRemote sensingInternational cooperationGeographic information systemsUrban geographyRemote sensingInternational cooperation.Land use, UrbanRemote sensingInternational cooperation.Environmental monitoringRemote sensingInternational cooperation.Geographic information systems.910.28/7910.287TEC009020TEC010000TEC036000bisacshWeng QihaoFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910787844603321Global urban monitoring and assessment through earth observation3806840UNINA
