Addressing the urgent tasks of adaptation to climate change is one of the biggest global challenges for humanity. As His Excellency Anto?nio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, said, "Climate change is the defining issue of our time-and we are at a defining moment. We face a direct existential threat." For many years, scientists from around the world have been conducting research on earth observations collecting vital data about the state of the earth environment. Evidence of the rapidly changing climate is alarming: according to the World Meteorological Organization, the past two decades included 18 of the warmest years since 1850, when records began. Thus, Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has launched initiatives across multiple societal benefit areas (agriculture, biodiversity, climate, disasters, ecosystems, energy, health, water, and weather), such as the Global Forest Observations Initiative, the GEO Carbon and GHG Initiative, the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network, and the GEO Blue Planet, among others. The results of research that addressed strategic priorities of these important initiatives are presented in the monograph. 606 $aEnvironmental economics$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aarid region 610 $acalibration 610 $aChina 610 $aclassification 610 $aclimatic factor 610 $acloud fraction 610 $acloud-to-ground (CG) lightning 610 $acomparison 610 $acrop 610 $adiurnal cycle 610 $adriving force 610 $aEarth observation 610 $aEarth Observation (EO) 610 $aEl Nin?o 2015-16 610 $aEVI 610 $aGNSS-R 610 $agrey relational analysis (GRA) 610 $aice 610 $aInner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) 610 $aintegrated liquid water 610 $aintegrated water vapour 610 $aland management unit 610 $aland surface temperature 610 $aland use 610 $aLand use and land cover (LULC) 610 $aleaf area index 610 $amarine 610 $amicrowave radiometer 610 $aMODIS 610 $aMODIS GPP product 610 $an/a 610 $aoasis-desert ecosystem 610 $aoptical sensors 610 $aparticulate matter (PM10) 610 $aplatform 610 $apolar 610 $aradiative kernel 610 $aradiometer 610 $aremote sensing 610 $aSAR 610 $asatellite 610 $aself-learning 610 $asensors 610 $asnow albedo feedback 610 $asnow albedo radiative forcing 610 $asulfur dioxide (SO2) 610 $asurface urban heat island 610 $aterrestrial ecosystem 610 $atrace gases 610 $atraining data 610 $auncertainty 610 $aUpper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere 610 $aurban heat island 610 $aVIS/NIR imager 610 $aweather 615 7$aEnvironmental economics 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aLiou$b Yuei-An$4edt$01314791 702 $aBarriot$b Jean-Pierre$4edt 702 $aHo$b Chung-Ru$4edt 702 $aKuleshov$b Yuriy$4edt 702 $aLee$b Chyi-Tyi$4edt 702 $aLiou$b Yuei-An$4oth 702 $aBarriot$b Jean-Pierre$4oth 702 $aHo$b Chung-Ru$4oth 702 $aKuleshov$b Yuriy$4oth 702 $aLee$b Chyi-Tyi$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557664003321 996 $aEarth Observations for Addressing Global Challenges$93031970 997 $aUNINA
