DESCRIPTION:
… an important contribution for earth scientists trying to understand how remote sensing imagery and vegetation can be used to create better maps of the earth’s geology."James Ellis, Ellis GeoSpatial"Dr. … The book is sure to clarify concepts both old and new while stimulating interest in the new. … The great difficulty in a book of this type is to stay relevant in a world of ever changing technology. I feel that this book will become the standard reference for practitioners and students alike."Dr Ralph N.Baker, Independent Consulting Geologist, Houston, Texas"… provides an earth scientist with a very efficient, one-stop inform
Dave said Very comprehensive. I have the e-version of this book and I must say that it is one of the most comprehensive books on remote sensing that I've come across to date. I was impressed by how much geoscience it covers. Most other remote sensing books that I've read focus on the theory and physics behind remote sensing with a few sprink
It describes techniques used in geologic mapping and mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, image analysis used in mine development and petroleum exploitation, site evaluation, groundwaterdevelopment, surface water monitoring, geothermal resource exploitation, and logistics. Readers should come away with a good understanding of what is involved in image analysis and interpretation and should be ableto recognize and identify geologic features of interest. The many examples of geologic mapping on other planets and the moon highlight how to analyze planetary surface processes, map stratigraphy, and locate resources. Having read this book, they should be able to effectively use imagery in petroleum, mining, groundwater, surface water, engineering, and environmental projects.. The book then examines remote sensing and the public, geographic information systems and Google Earth, and how imagery is used by the media, in the legal system, in pu
