There have been numerous advances in thermal infrared (TIRS) sensors, analytical techniques and applications in recent years. A number of new satellite platforms have launched with TIR capabilities, and others will be ready for launch in the near future. This book builds upon the book Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processing and provides new and updated information on thermal remote sensing satellite and aircraft-borne sensors. It includes examples of new analysis and modeling techniques, applications on land and water bodies, provides insight into what TIR sensors will be launched in the near future, and includes an open source/digital format with additional interactive materials in each chapter.FeaturesHighlights the latest and updated information on TIR remote sensing, current TIR sensors and future sensors.Explains new and updated TIRS sensor analytical techniques.Focuses on new modeling techniques to derive information on land and water surface processes from TIR sensor data.Includes relevant and updated examples of applications of TIR sensor data to land surface and water body processes.Provides examples of linkage of TIR sensor data with hyperspectral and other remote sensing datasets.This book is for professionals, academics, and students who are part of remote sensing and geospatial community, environmental science community, geologists, geographers, ecologists, spatial statisticians and all those involved in quantitative analysis. It is also an excellent resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in photogrammetry and image processing in information science and engineering.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

A timely contribution to the study of transnational higher education in China, this volume focuses on graduate employability and how to nurture Glocal Talents via Glocalised Higher Education, specifically in the context of transnational higher education programmes and transnational universities. Offering readers a background on the conceptualisation of glocal talents, education policy frameworks of glocalised higher education and the approaches to cultivating the desired talents in and beyond China, Part 1 of the book suggests various practical models and frameworks for nurturing glocal talents in different regions and universities. In Part 2, the authors use a focal case study to present in-depth investigations into leadership, formal and informal curricula, and employability of graduates from the Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education Institution (SFCEI). The book makes an argument for how glocal talents should be better equipped to fit into a profession or an environment that requires the mindset and competence to bring the global, national and local into individual relationships for sustainable development of mankind. This comprehensive investigation into every section of glocal knowledge and visions provides readers a clear picture on how glocal talents could be practically nurtured through glocalised higher education. Due to its unique exploration of the visions and practices of the leaders, academics, curriculum designers, and practitioners in the specific context of the more than 2000 SFCEIs, this is a must-read for students, researchers, policymakers, leaders, as well as formal and informal curriculum designers involved in international higher education (IHE), comparative education, and educational research.
