Remote Sensing Analysis of Environmental Resources for Planning and Development

The book on ‘Remote Sensing Analysis of Environmental Resources for Planning and Development’ offers a synthesis of both conventional and remote sensing methods of environmental resources assessment. It is an attempt to introduce application of remote sensing for land resources management. The main features of the book are to map, describe and analyse the distribution, degradation and conservation of environmental resources using remote sensing technology. Emphasis has been laid on forest, agriculture, soil, land use and human resources etc. which are considered most essential for environmental planning and development. Potential of Remote Sensing Technology is now well recognised for environmental studies. Keeping in view the availability of multitemporal high resolution satellite images on various scales to each and every individual at a nominal cost, author has demonstrated its use for assessing the environmental resources for planning and management. The book will be of great use to teachers, scholars, and students of geography, environmental resources investigators, land use planners, resources managers, institutions, Government and Non-Government Organisation, voluntary agencies and beginners who wish to utilise remote sensing data for environmental studies.
