Advanced Geospatial and Ground Based Techniques in Forest Monitoring provides insights into advanced geospatial technology in the field of forestry. The book provides both traditional and special techniques for monitoring the forest, including biophysical and biochemical parameters, retrieval, species identification, mapping, and classification. In addition, it covers the latest technologies using SAR data, hyperspectral data, and the integration of datasets for the enhanced accuracy of the results and its outcome. This book will benefit the academic and research communities with the latest research ideas and problem-solving skills in forestry and land management.Includes the application of EO data for forest monitoring in both natural resources mapping and forest sustainable managementPresents advancements in geospatial technology using multispectral, hyperspectral, radar microwave, and LIDAR data in forest monitoring and its parameter retrievalCovers upcoming satellite missions for forest monitoring

This edited book summarizes numerous research studies on remote sensing and GIS of natural resource management for the Himalaya region done by Indian Institutions and Universities over the last decade.

This edited book summarizes numerous research studies on remote sensing and GIS of natural resource management for the Himalaya region done by Indian Institutions and Universities over the last decade.

This book is about the Himalayan ranges as a source of fresh water supply and a perennial store house of ice, snow and permafrost as well as a vast repository of rich biodiversity, in the light of climate change. Special attention is given to the dynamics of snow and glaciers in the northwestern Himalayas, assessment of climate change patterns, and the consequences of changes and flow regime in order to understand the behaviour of climate change in the northwestern Himalayas. The outcome of melting glaciers are pro-glacial lakes. Their increasing size and potential danger of outbursts requires systematic study, particularly where there is the risk of impact on life and property. Furthermore, the changing trend of the hydrological cycle on a regional or local scale is another area of research which calls for the attention of geoscientists. To date there is a scarcity of reliable data meaning that a concerted effort is still required by all parties.
