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. --$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aTaylor & Francis series in remote sensing applications. 606 $aUrban geography$xRemote sensing$xInternational cooperation 606 $aLand use, Urban$xRemote sensing$xInternational cooperation 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$xRemote sensing$xInternational cooperation 606 $aGeographic information systems 615 0$aUrban geography$xRemote sensing$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aLand use, Urban$xRemote sensing$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring$xRemote sensing$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 676 $a910.28/7 676 $a910.287 686 $aTEC009020$aTEC010000$aTEC036000$2bisacsh 702 $aWeng$b Qihao 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800193003321 996 $aGlobal urban monitoring and assessment through earth observation$93874714 997 $aUNINA
