This book introduces remote sensing for environmental monitoring, emphasizing its importance and varied applications in environmental assessment. It delineates core image interpretation and analysis principles, details satellite platforms and sensors, and explores aerial and ground-based remote sensing technologies through case studies. It includes data acquisition, preprocessing, and specialized imaging methods such as multispectral, hyperspectral, and thermal infrared imaging. Discussions extend to microwave and lidar applications and integration with GIS for environmental mapping. Chapters cover applications in water quality monitoring, land cover analysis, vegetation dynamics, atmospheric and climate studies, coastal and marine environments, urban areas, and wildlife habitat assessment. Lastly, the book explores emerging technologies and future trends in remote sensing for environmental monitoring, offering insights into potential applications, challenges, and directions.
