Water-related hazards such as floods and droughts have serious impacts on society. Their incidence has increased in recent decades, a trend set to continue with ongoing climate change. Adaptation and mitigation measures require accurate detection, monitoring, and forecasting, much of which comes from remote sensing technologies.
Remote Sensing of Water-Related Hazards takes an interdisciplinary approach, presenting recent advances in the available data, sensors, models, and indicators developed for monitoring and prediction.
Volume highlights include:
- Progress in remote sensing of precipitation, storms, and tornados
- Different techniques for flood mapping, forecasting, and early warning
- Integrated approach for predicting flood and landslide cascading hazards
- Satellite monitoring of water cycle variation, water scarcity, and drought conditions
- Multi-indicator and multi-sensor approaches for quantifying drought impacts
