DESCRIPTION
The recent emergence and widespread use of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) has prompted new interest in scale as a key component of these and other geographic information technologies. With a balanced mixture of concepts, practical examples, techniques, and theory, Scale in Remote Sensing and GIS is a guide for students and users of remote sensing and GIS who must deal with the issues raised by multiple temporal and spatial scales. Sixteen pages of full-color photographs help demonstrate key points made in the text.
CONTENTS
Introduction: Scale, Multiscaling, Remote Sensing, and GIS. Multiscale Nature of Spatial Data in Scaling Up Environmental Models. Scale Dependence of NDVI and its Relationship to Mountainous Terrain. Understanding the Scale and Resolution Effects in Remote Sensing and GIS. Multiresolution Covariation among Landsat and AVHRR Vegetation Indices.

About the Book :-
Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing describes how remotely sensed data fields can be applied to help solve problems in ocean-related studies. This timely reference, written by and for oceanographers, emphasizes the application of data to particular physical, chemical, and biological processes related to the ocean and the ocean-atmosphere system. The organization of the book reflects this emphasis, with chapters arranged by process rather than by sensor characteristics.
Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing contains comprehensive information on the application of such relevant data sets as sea surface temperature and topography, ocean circulation, sea level variability, wind speed and stress, wave height, solar radiation flux at ocean surfaces, and sea-ice characteristics and ice motion. It also discusses the reliability of remotely sensed data and provides information about the applicability of the various data sets to particular process studies.
Its completeness and relevance makes Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing an important reference for modern studies of ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere processes. Its unique coverage of the physics that govern satellite processes and their applications to oceanography ensures that it will remain an important reference as new satellites are introduced.

DESCRIPTION:-
In June 1994 the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL) held its 14th annual symposium at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. Chalmers University is renowned among the remote sensing community for its high-level training courses on microwave techniques. The papers presented at this symposium, under the theme ‘Sensors and Environmental Applications’ are published in these proceedings. The symposium was followed by a specialist workshop on ‘Topography from Space’ and the overview papers given by keynote invited speakers are also published in this volume. One of the major goals of EARSeL is to act as an interface between the fast-evolving technologies and their applications in many fields. The theme chosen therefore enabled participants to present their latest research covering the analysis of data from the most advanced systems, including both visible and infrared optical sensors and both passive and active microwave sensors, demonstrating their contribution to our understanding of dynamic environmental processes. Papers are grouped according to broad application areas, such as land applications, marine and inland waters, sea ice, oceans, and cartography, as well as technical papers on remote sensing methodology. These reflect the great strides that are being made towards the everyday use of satellite-derived data.

DESCRIPTION:-
The 17th Annual Symposium of the European ssociation of Remote Sensing Laboratories was held in June 1997 at the Technical University of Denmark, where the decision was taken to create the Association in 1976 by a small group of leading European scientists who had a vision for the future development of the technique. So this was an anniversary meeting reflected in the overall theme of the Symposium ‘Future Trends in Remote Sensing’. This theme was chosen since after 20 years of developing acquisition and analysis techniques, the emphasis is now placed more and more on investigating application for the information derived from remotely sensed data in helping man to ensure his security, material needs and well-being. The future plans of the European Space Agency and of the Centre for Earth Observation established by the European Commission at the Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, are presented in this volume Other themes covered include: Land Applications, Ice, Water, Ocean and Coastal Management and more technical papers on methods, models and system aspects and a section on data fusion, which is at the leading edge of current research. The whole represents a comprehensive overview of present-day achievements and trends in research aiming to extract the maximum information from the wealth of data now being acquired from Earth observation satellites and to develop innovative applications.
