Earth Observation for Flood Applications

Earth Observation for Flood Applications: Progress and Perspectives

describes the latest scientific advances in Earth Observation.

With recent floods around the world becoming ever more devastating, there is a need for better science enabling more effective solutions at a fast pace.

This book aims at stretching from the current flood mapping to diverse real data so as to estimate the flood risk and damage.

Earth Observation for Flood Applications: Progress and Perspectives includes three parts containing each a separate but complementary topic area under floods.

Each chapter unfolds various applications, case studies, and illustrative graphics.

In terms of flood mapping and monitoring, the usage of multi-sensor satellite data, web-services information, microwave remote sensing methods are discussed in depth.

So, this book is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and students in the area of earth observation.
