Book synopsis

Earth Observation for Monitoring and Modeling Land Use presents a practical guide and theoretical overview of the latest techniques and Earth observation technologies applied to land use and land cover change through qualitative assessment of Earth observation technologies. The chapters include detailed case studies, Earth observation datasets, and detailed applications of the technologies covered, presented in a way that each chapter is a self-contained guide on a specific application of Earth observation technologies to land use problems, ensuring all technical and background information is provided on each subject without the need for cross-referencing or searching for other sources. The book spatializes the understanding of monitoring land cover and use, and quantifies the challenges faced, allowing analysis of the dynamics of the territory in terms of occupation processes, land use, and its transformations. They book focuses on practical applications of using remote sensing and modeling that support new research in relation to monitoring of land use and spectral modelling, elucidating the importance of advanced methodologies in the coverage and use mappings of the Earth. Mainly in spatial cutouts that present great environmental dynamism, such as areas that have undergone major infrastructure work, are suffering from deforestation, or areas experiencing accelerated population growth. Earth Observation for Monitoring and Modeling Land Use offers up-to-date methodologies for postgraduate students, researchers, academics and professionals in the field of remote sensing, geography, land change study, geospatial research, environmental science, and sustainability, providing them with a critical overview of state-of-the-art Earth observation technologies in this subject. Focuses on a variety of interdisciplinary applications using Earth observation data,technologies and machine learning techniques to address various challenges in land use change Detailed application-specific discussions will allow readers to understand the different applications of tools aimed at observing the Earth's surface Includes theoretical and applied research contributions along with background information on the use of current technologies applied to land use and land resources Presents summaries of technical information and data handling that will enable readers to understand the key benefits of Earth observation technologies in respect to land use
