This book describes international approaches for using geospatial technologies to help solve climate change issues, and shows how geospatial technologies like remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems can assist with climate monitoring and modeling.
Geospatial Technologies and Climate Change describes various approaches from different countries on how to use geospatial technologies to help solving climate change issues. It also details how different geospatial technologies (remote sensing, Geographical Information System...) can be used to help with climate monitoring and modeling, how to work with them and what to be careful about. This book is written by scientific experts from four different continents. Written in a comprehensive and complete way, this book is essential reading material for graduate and undergraduate students interested in these techniques and in climate change.

The authors are key scientists on geospatial technologies applied to climate change, working from four continents - America (USA), Europe (UK), Australia and Asia (India)
