Unmanned Aerial Systems for Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and Riverine Environments

About this book

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and Riverine Environments provides an overview of how unmanned aerial systems have revolutionized our capability to monitor river systems, soil characteristics, and related processes at unparalleled spatio-temporal resolutions. This capability has enabled enhancements in our capacity to describe water cycle and hydrological processes. The book includes guidelines, technical advice, and practical experience to support practitioners and scientists in increasing the efficiency of monitoring with the help of UAS. The book contains field survey datasets to use as practical exercises, allowing proposed techniques and methods to be applied to real world case studies. - Includes a summary of technical UAS issues allowing readers to focus on how the exact technology fits their scientific question - Provides specific applications enabling readers to understand the benefits and threats within the field - Includes a comprehensive literature review in each chapter, allowing readers to know the key players and research in the field
