Applications and Challenges of Geospatial Technology de Pavan Kumar

Applications and Challenges of Geospatial Technology

Editat de Pavan Kumar, Meenu Rani, Prem Chandra Pandey, Haroon Sajjad, Bhagwan Singh Chaudhary
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 dec 2018

Observăm în volumul Applications and Challenges of Geospatial Technology, editat de Pavan Kumar și colaboratorii săi, o organizare riguroasă menită să pună în dialog teoria tehnologiilor spațiale cu aplicațiile lor practice imediate. Structura cărții urmărește o progresie logică, demarând în prima secțiune cu o analiză a tendințelor viitoare în tehnologia spațială, pentru ca ulterior să se ramifice în studii aplicate. Metodologia propusă se bazează pe utilizarea datelor de teledetecție și GIS pentru rezolvarea unor probleme complexe de mediu, de la monitorizarea sedimentelor de coastă până la modelarea intensității luminoase urbane în metropole precum Beijing.

Această lucrare extinde cadrul propus de Sustainable Development and Geospatial Technology de Chetan Sharma cu date noi din perioada recentă, axându-se pe utilizarea senzorilor de ultimă generație precum OLI pentru monitorizarea variabilității sezoniere. În contextul operei editorilor, acest volum completează abordările din Advanced Geospatial and Ground Based Techniques in Forest Monitoring, mutând însă accentul de la monitorizarea biophysicală a pădurilor către o sferă mai largă ce include resursele de apă și riscurile geotehnice.

Merită menționat că textul nu se rezumă la cartografierea clasică, ci explorează modelarea probabilistică a riscurilor de alunecări de teren și dinamica populației prin senzori de lumină nocturnă. Ritmul expunerii este unul tehnic, specific literaturii de specialitate din categoria științelor naturii, oferind cititorului un suport solid pentru înțelegerea sistemelor de mediu prin prisma ingineriei verzi și a managementului durabil.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte specialiștilor în geomatică și inginerie de mediu care doresc să stăpânească instrumente avansate de monitorizare a resurselor naturale. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă tehnică asupra modului în care datele satelitare pot preveni dezastrele naturale în zone cu topografie complexă, precum Himalaya. Este un instrument esențial pentru cercetătorii care caută soluții bazate pe date pentru dezvoltarea durabilă și managementul apei.

Despre autor

Echipa de editori, condusă de Pavan Kumar și Meenu Rani, reunește experți recunoscuți în domeniul teledetecției și al științelor pământului. Aceștia au coordonat numeroase lucrări publicate de edituri de prestigiu precum Springer, concentrându-se pe intersecția dintre agricultură, biodiversitate și tehnologii geospațiale. Contribuțiile lor anterioare, precum studiile despre impactul climatic asupra resurselor naturale și managementul agro-biodiversității, reflectă un angajament pe termen lung față de utilizarea științei spațiale în sprijinul sustenabilității globale.

Descriere scurtă

This book advances the scientific understanding and application of space-based technologies to address a variety of areas related to sustainable development; including environmental systems analysis, environmental management, clean processes, green chemistry, and green engineering. Geo-spatial techniques have gained considerable interest in recent decades among the earth and environmental science communities for solving and understanding various complex problems and approaches towards sustainable technologies. The book encompasses several scopes of interests on sustainable technologies in areas such as water resources, forestry, remote sensing, meteorology, atmospheric and oceanic modeling, environmental engineering and management, civil engineering, air and environmental pollution, water quality problems, etc. The book will appeal to people with an interest in geo-spatial techniques, sustainable development and other diverse backgrounds within earth and environmental sciences field.
