It is essential to produce climate system models that can bring about an accurate representation of the climate forecast. The concept of global warming has become a local phrase for every region and its effects are obvious on the farming communities. The models generated can be used to project the current situations and can help us predict or forecast the potential perils in the future. In this book, the sensor applications are explained with respect to the agricultural sectors. Remote sensing and GIS are considered as important tools in mapping agricultural fields and their associated factors. The mapping of crops with several space-borne platforms and airborne platforms is explained. This book can be used as a handbook for engineers, scientists and research scholars along with undergraduates and postgraduates in science and technology.

Remote sensing has always played a vital role in the better understanding of the ecosystem. It has developed into an exploratory tool vital to natural science. This volume introduces topics such as climate, hydrology and the Earths biosphere, which constitute a solid part of remote sensing and inspection. In addition, remote sensing encourages us to understand the ecosystem and its numerous cycles in vast spatial and transitory ranges. This is an important part of land surface survey, particularly in the managing of land and aquatic resources and the identification of ecological changes. The volume mentions that remote sensing technology has greatly improved our capacity to monitor and supervise natural resources, particularly in the fields of agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems. However, despite the considerable progress made in recent times, there are still various fields that have not yet fully realized the benefits of remote sensing, which is an area of ongoing research. Some of the topics captured in this volume include; chapter 1: remote sensing, chapter 2: the use of GIS to map and assess ecosystem services, chapter 3: satellite-based remote sensing for measuring the earths natural capital and ecosystem services, chapter 4: remote sensing in forest ecology and management, chapter 5: agricultural sensors and their advantages, and chapter 6: use of remote sensing in irrigation monitoring and management among others.

Takes readers through the various applications of the GIS tools and equipment and the techniques used in remote sensing. The book covers the various ways in which these tools work and the forms in which they exist for use and are also related with the future applications of the same.

Introduces readers to contemporary metropolitan life. The book discusses the planning and decentralization of metropolitan cities and environmental sustainability from the point of view of infrastructure, accessibility and transportation, industrial sustainability and sustainable growth strategies.

Examines various aspects of remote sensing, including an extensive historical overview of remote sensing of the environment. The book includes definitions, preliminary data, and biomass estimation with remote sensing.

Considers various aspects of geocryology, including an extensive historical overview and related issues. The book includes definitions and characterstics of the basic factors of the environment, frozen ground and the process of frost action.
