Allied to the powerful computer-basedmethodologies of Geographic Information Systems and imageprocessing and cartographic techniques, perhaps its most importantaspect is the way Environmental Remote Sensing (ERS) can allowsynoptic interpretation of complex geographical phenomena fromglobal to local scales. This book provides a benchmark collectionof papers to demonstrate the flexibility and power of ERStechniques in a variety of contexts and scales. To achieve thisend, a group of leading specialists have been invited to contributesurveys of the field.
