Geospatial Techniques in Climate Change Monitoring and Environmental Mapping: Advances and Applications, Volume Ten delves into the novel methods and applications of remote sensing in climate-change studies. The book begins by exploring climate observation and monitoring, consolidating remote sensing data systems for environmental mapping, and tracking air pollution using remote sensing data. The volume covers the use of remote sensing data for monitoring and predicting climate change, characterizing land changes with climate time series data, and tracking climate change and tropical cyclones with geospatial techniques.It also discusses the system dynamics model of economic development and climate change, as well as climate change mitigation, adaptation, and future directions. Additionally, it addresses climate modeling, validation, uncertainty mapping, and the application of remote sensing data in government climate policies and sustainable risk reduction approaches for global climate change issues.Members of the Royal Meteorological Society are eligible for a 35% discount on all Developments in Weather and Climate Science series titles.
