Scaling Up in Hydrology Using Remote Sensing - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

The most pressing environmental problems are considered to affect the entire globe. For example, climate change, deforestation, desertification are all happening on such a large scale they may affect the sustainability of man's future. To address this question quantitatively there is a need for more reliable data on large scale land use change, and their impacts on water resources and climate. This book brings together the presentations made at a recent workshop of experts to consider the problems of scaling up from local to global spatial scales and from the instantaneous satellite measurements to daily or longer time scales. The authors' collective views represent the state of the art of their science as seen by an active international remote sensing community and ground and planetary-based measurement scientists and modellers.
