The role of artificial intelligence is crucial in the domain of Earth Observation (EO) data analysis. Deep learning-based approaches have improved accuracy, but they have affected the reliability and transparency of EO data. It is critical to improve the explainability of EO data analysis algorithms and complex deep learning models to ensure the quality of spatial decisions. This book discusses the various advancements in Explainable AI and investigates their suitability for various EO data analyses offering best practices for implementing algorithms that facilitate big and efficient data processing. It lays the foundation of Explainable EO and helps readers build trustworthy, secure, and robust EO systems.Features:Examines explainability of algorithms from the aspect of generalizability and reliabilityReviews state-of-the-art explainability strategies related to the preprocessing algorithmsProvides explanations for specific evaluation metrics of various EO data processing and preprocessing algorithmsDiscusses explainable ante-hoc and post-hoc approaches for EO data analysisServes as a foundational reference for developing future EO data processing strategiesAddresses the key challenges in making EO data processing algorithms interpretable and offers insights for the future of explainable EO data processingThis book is intended for graduate students, researchers and academics in computer and data science, machine learning, and image processing, as well as professionals in geospatial data science using GIS and remote sensing in Earth and environmental sciences.

Various modeling methodologies are available to aid planning and operational decision making: this book synthesises these, with an emphasis on methodologies applicable in data scarce regions, such as developing countries. Problems included in each chapter, and supported by links to available online data sets and modeling tools, engage the reader with practical applications of the models. Academic researchers in the fields of hydrology, climate change, and environmental science and hazards, and professionals and policy-makers working in hazard mitigation, remote sensing and hydrological engineering will find this an invaluable resource. This volume is the second in a collection of four books on flood disaster management theory and practice within the context of anthropogenic climate change. The others are: Floods in a Changing Climate: Extreme Precipitation by Ramesh Teegavarapu, Floods in a Changing Climate: Inundation Modelling by Giuliano Di Baldassarre and Floods in a Changing Climate: Risk Management by Slodoban P. Simonović.
