Inhaltsangabe

Volume I of Geospatial Information Handbook for Water Resources and Watershed Management discusses fundamental characteristics, measurements, and analyses of water features and watersheds including lakes and reservoirs, rivers and streams, and coasts and estuaries. It presents contemporary knowledge on Geospatial Technology (GT)–supported functional analyses of water runoff, storage and balance, flooding and floodplains, water quality, soils and moisture, climate vulnerabilities, and ecosystem services.

• Captures advanced Geospatial Technologies (GTs) addressing a wide range of water issues
• Provides real-world applications and case studies using advanced spectral and spatial sensors combined with geospatially facilitated water process models
• Details applications of ArcInfo/ArcGIS, Google Earth Engine, and other systems using advanced remote sensors, including hyperspectral ER2 AVIRIS, Sentinel-1 and -2, MODIS, Landsat 7 ETM+, Landsat 8 OLI and TIPS, SAR radar, and thermal imaging
• Global in coverage with applications contributed by more than 170 authors with lifelong expertise in water sciences and engineering

This handbook is a wide-ranging and contemporary reference of advanced geospatial techniques used in numerous practical applications at the local and regional scales and is an in-depth resource for professionals and the water research community worldwide.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Over the years John and Lynn Lyon have worked on water issues with great interest and heart.

A hallmark of their scholarship has been helping others with scientific authorship. Books are a great way to capture thoughts and methods making them accessible to others worldwide. In that vein here they have advanced a whole cadre of thought leaders with a broad focus on water.

Whether local, regional, continental, or global scale water issues unite passions.

Part of the challenge is the breadth and complexity of water. If many people take a piece the whole society can fashion sustainable outcomes. The Handbook is focused on presenting a number of ways to facilitate these thoughtful contributions.

John earned his Doctorate at the University of Michigan and Lynn earned her Master’s Degree at Ohio State University.
