A timely and comprehensive guide to using remote sensing methods for Earth-based and space-based projects In the newly revised second edition of Remote Sensing for Earth and Planetary Science, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date and wide-ranging overview of remote sensing technologies and applications. The authors include cutting-edge case studies, with many drawn from NASA projects and other international planetary science projects, as well as discussions of the latest advances in remote sensing technologies. This book offers significant new sections—complete with hands-on examples—covering machine learning, fluid lensing, gravimetry, reflectometry and scatterometry. A thorough introduction to remote sensing for both Earth-based and planetary science applicationsComprehensive explorations of remote sensing in aquatic systems and the solar systemPractical discussions of digital image processing, computer vision, and machine learningComplete treatments of promising potential developments in the remote sensing industry, including emerging technologies like hyper-spatial satellites, gravimetry, and ultra-long endurance aircraftPerfect for earth and space scientists in research centers, Remote Sensing for Earth and Planetary Science will also benefit researchers working in universities and government agencies, as well as students and lecturers on astronomy and earth science courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Remote Sensing and Global Environmental Change

Remote Sensing plays a key role in monitoring the various manifestations of global climate change. It is used routinely in the assessment and mapping of biodiversity over large areas, in the monitoring of changes to the physical environment, in assessing threats to various components of natural systems, and in the identification of priority areas for conservation. This book presents the fundamentals of remote sensing technology, but rather than containing lengthy explanations of sensor specifications and operation, it concentrates instead on the application of the technology to key environmental systems. Each system forms the basis of a separate chapter, and each is illustrated by real world case studies and examples. ReadershipThe book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in earth science, environmental science, or physical geography taking a course in environmental remote sensing. It will also be an invaluable reference for environmental scientists and managers who require an overview of the use of remote sensing in monitoring and mapping environmental change at regional and global scales.Additional resources for this book can be found at: http://www.wiley.com/go/purkis/remote.

Coral Reefs of the Gulf
Adaptation to Climatic Extremes

Coral Reefs of the Gulf: Adaptation to Climatic Extremes is a complete review and reference for scientists, engineers and students concerned with the geology, biology or engineering aspects of coral reefs in the Middle East. It provides for the first time a complete review of both the geology and biology of all extant coral areas in the Gulf, the water body between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. In summer, this area is the hottest sea with abundant coral growth on earth and already today exhibits a temperature that is predicted to occur across the topical ocean in 2100. Thus, by studying the Gulf today, much can be learned about tomorrow’s world and the capability of coral reefs to adapt to climatic extremes. This volume provides the most authoritative and up-to-date review of the coral reefs in the Gulf. It can be used as a volume of general reference or as a textbook treating recent coral reefs. Written by local and international experts, the text is richly illustrated and will remain a standard reference for the region for decades to come. Contributions stretch from climatology through geology, biology, ecological modelling and fisheries science to practical conservation aspects. The book is useful for the technical expert and casual reader alike.
