Satellite-Based Infrared Remote Sensing of Earth and Mars: A Geological Perspective introduces the tools and techniques of infrared remote sensing and solid surface geology of terrestrial planets in a simplified, accessible approach for geoscientists.
This book bridges the gap between remote-sensing scientists and geoscientists by making the techniques easily accessible to geoscientists with minimal mathematical and technical jargon without trivializing or oversimplifying the topic.
Authored by two of the world’s leading remote sensing scientists, the text provides a thorough and accessible source of remote sensing fundamentals and applications, helping geoscientists navigate through the wealth of new research that has emerged in recent years.
- Introduces the tools and techniques of infrared remote sensing in the geological context of Earth and Mars
- Focuses on the practical analysis and interpretation of infrared remote sensing data for terrestrial and planetary geological studies
- Provides a foundational background on the physics, chemistry, and mathematics of infrared remote sensing, making the subject accessible to both junior and seasoned geoscientists
- Features an applications-based approach that is immediately implementable in real-world settings
The primary audience includes geosciences researchers and exploration geologists working in industry.
The secondary audience geosciences researchers and graduate students with the beginner’s or mid-level interest in planetary research.
