Geology is one of the important basic sciences as it not only deals with natural resources like minerals, hydrocarbons, ground water, geothermal springs, etc., but also with natural disasters like seismicities, landslides, volcanic eruptions, etc. Hence, this branch of sciences needs to be widely taught to all the cross-sections of students and the scientific community as all the developmental planning of the mankind depends upon the geo-resources, geo-environment and the natural disaster proneness. Further, as the emergence of the remote sensing technology has greatly enhanced the avenues of knowing more about the planet Earth, the geo-scientific community round the world has become the major exploiters of this technology, which in turn has brought out many new genetic informations in the recent time. This book, which contains eighteen scientific papers on various aspects of applications of remote sensing in geosciences, will be of great interest for researchers, students, scientists and the technocrats working on geological explorations and natural disasters.
