GNSS Applications to Monitor Natural Hazards offers step-by-step GNSS methodologies for reproducibility of the techniques covered, with explanations on how they can be employed for hazard monitoring and mitigation. The book provides an understanding of the applications, benefits, and methods for implementing the techniques in research and how these methods can be used to provide early warning to mitigating catastrophic events. GNSS Applications to Monitor Natural Hazards provides GNSS methodologies for researchers, professionals, and professors working with GNSS technologies or those wanting to relate the application of GNSS to natural hazards.
