Reihe: Remote Sensing Handbook

Volume V of theSix Volume Remote Sensing Handbook, Second Edition, is focused on the use of remote sensing technologies for studying water resources, including groundwater, floods, snow and ice, and wetlands. It discusses water productivity studies from Earth observation data characterization and modeling, mapping their successes and challenges. Chapters include remote sensing of surface water hydrology; quantitative geomorphology; river basin studies; floods; wetlands, including mangroves and river deltas; groundwater studies; crop water use or actual evapotranspiration modeling and mapping; and snow and ice mapping. This thoroughly revised and updated volume draws on the expertise of a diverse array of leading international authorities in remote sensing and provides an essential resource for researchers at all levels interested in using remote sensing. It integrates discussions of remote sensing principles, data, methods, development, applications, and scientific and social context.

FEATURES

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Prasad S. Thenkabail, Senior Scientist (ST), United States Geological Survey (USGS), is a world-recognized expert in remote sensing science with major contributions in the field for nearly 40 years. He has made the list of the world’s top 1% of scientists across 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. Dr. Thenkabail has conducted pioneering research in hyperspectral remote sensing of vegetation, global croplands, and their water use for food security. He obtained his PhD from the Ohio State University in 1992 and has 168 peer-reviewed publications including 15 books, including this six-volume set, and over 15 major data releases such as the Landsat-derived global cropland extent product @ 30m and Landsat-derived rainfed and irrigated cropland area product @ 30 m (LGRIP30). He was recognized as a Fellow of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) in 2023. His scientific papers have won several awards for demonstrating world-class, highest-quality research. He was a Landsat Science Team Member (2007-2011).
