Remote Sensing and Gis Applications in Natural Resources Management

Description

Technology has long been an important management tool used to preserve natural resources. Many technologies have been developed over the years to suit various needs. In some cases, management practices have been perfected and adapted to suit specific environmental and resource issues. Today, technology has also been used to develop remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) tools that are now widely used to gather data essential for the effective management of natural resources. These tools provide a strong foundation for policy decisions related to environmental sustainability and growth. To provide you with a clearer picture of how it all works, this book “Remote Sensing and GIS Applications in Natural Resources Management” will discuss the application of GIS in natural resource management. This book is useful for the natural resource managers to understand and more effectively collaborate with remote sensing scientists to develop and apply remote sensing science to achieve monitoring objectives.
