The book provides a detailed overview of remotely sensed observations, current and future satellite missions useful for hydrologic studies and water resources engineering, and a review of hydroclimatic hazards. Given these tools, readers can improve their abilities to monitor, model and predict these extremes with remote sensing.
In addition, the book covers multivariate hazards, like landslides, in case studies that analyze the combination of natural hazards and their impact on the natural and built environment. Finally, it ties hydroclimatic hazards into the Sendai Framework, providing another set of tools for reducing disaster impacts.
- Emphasizes recent and future satellite missions to study, monitor and forecast hydroclimatic hazards
- Provides a complete overview and differentiation of remotely sensed products that are useful for monitoring extreme hydroclimatic and related events
- Covers real-life examples and applications of integrating remote sensing products to study complex multi-hydroclimatic hazards
Meteorologists, climatologists, hydrologists, agronomists, geologists, geographers, water resource scientists and managers, scientists and environmental managers focusing on climate change, researchers whose focus is on sustainability, land use, disaster management, risk-assessment, and risk reduction
