It is used routinely in the assessment and mapping of biodiversity over large areas, in the monitoring of changes to the physical environment, in assessing threats to various components of natural systems, and in the identification of priority areas for conservation. This book presents the fundamentals of remote sensing technology, but rather than containing lengthy explanations of sensor specifications and operation, it concentrates instead on the application of the technology to key environ 606 $aGlobal environmental change$xRemote sensing 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$xRemote sensing 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGlobal environmental change$xRemote sensing. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring$xRemote sensing. 676 $a550.28/4 676 $a551.6 700 $aPurkis$b Samuel J$0969022 701 $aKlemas$b V$0772203 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141170003321 996 $aRemote sensing and global environmental change$92201497 997 $aUNINA
