Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring and Change Detection

Remote sensing technology has evolved into an integral research tool for the natural sciences. Hydrology has developed a strong remote sensing analysis component that has facilitated research over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales, and especially in water resources management, environmental monitoring and prediction, and the detection of environmental change. Approaches using the thermal infrared, microwave and radar; studies monitoring vegetation, snow and ice, and evapotranspiration; and the combination of remote sensing techniques and GIS for hydrological applications, are compiled in this volume.

The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology. Our books are authored, edited and produced at the highest level of quality, with the most current and thorough research.

Our publications and our work advance the science and the professional practice of Hydrology in a variety of Science and Engineering fields around the world.

The areas that we publish in include:

• Ground water
• Surface water
• Snow and ice hydrology
• Drought and desertification
• Runoff modelling
• Watershed
• Remote sensing
• Water quality
• Water resources and management
• Ecohydrology/hydro-ecology
• Erosion and sediment
• Tracer hydrology
