Earth Observation for Monitoring and Modeling Land Use presents a practical guide and theoretical overview of the latest techniques and Earth observation technologies applied to land use and land cover change through qualitative assessment of Earth observation technologies. The book's chapters include detailed case studies, Earth observation datasets, and detailed applications of the technologies covered that are presented in a way that each chapter is a self-contained guide on a specific application of Earth observation technologies to land use problems, ensuring all technical and background information is provided on each subject without the need for cross-referencing or searching for other sources.The book spatializes the understanding of monitoring land cover and use, and quantifies the challenges faced, allowing analysis of the dynamics of the territory in terms of occupation processes, land use, and its transformations. It focuses on practical applications of using remote sensing and modeling that support new research in relation to monitoring of land use and spectral modelling, elucidating the importance of advanced methodologies in the coverage and use mappings of the Earth. - Focuses on a variety of interdisciplinary applications using Earth observation data, technologies, and machine learning techniques to address various challenges in land use change - Includes detailed application-specific discussions that allow readers to understand the different applications of tools aimed at observing the Earth's surface - Covers theoretical and applied research contributions, along with background information on the use of current technologies applied to land use and land resources - Presents summaries of technical information and data handling that will enable readers to understand the key benefits of Earth observation technologies in respect to land use
