Remote Sensing Of Water-Related Hazards

<p><b>Applications of remote sensing technology for monitoring and predicting water-related hazards</b><p>Water-related hazards such as floods and droughts have serious impacts on society. Their incidence has increased in recent decades, a trend set to continue with ongoing climate change. Adaptation and mitigation measures require accurate detection, monitoring, and forecasting, much of which comes from remote sensing technologies. <p><i>Remote Sensing of Water-Related Hazards </i>takes an interdisciplinary approach, presenting recent advances in the available data, sensors, models, and indicators developed for monitoring and prediction. <p>Volume highlights include: <ul><li>Progress in remote sensing of precipitation, storms, and tornados</li><li>Different techniques for flood mapping, forecasting, and early warning</li><li>Integrated approach for predicting flood and landslide cascading hazards</li><li>Satellite monitoring of water cycle variation, water scarcity, and drought condit
