Satellite Earth Observing systems provide a unique tool to monitor those changes. While the range of applications and innovative techniques is constantly increasing, this book provides a summary of key case studies where satellite data offer critical information to understand the causes and effects of those environmental changes, minimizing their negative impacts. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of remote sensing, geographical information, meteorology and environmental sciences. Also scientists and graduate up to post-graduate level students in environmental science will find valuable information in this book.  aclimate change  ageography  aremote sensing  aApplied Earth Sciences  aClimatic changes  aEarth Sciences  aGeographical information systems  aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography  aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry1 aLI, J.1 aYANG, X.
