Résumé

Although remote sensing is recognized as a powerful tool in the collection, analysis, and modeling of environmental data, less attention has been given to the use of thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing. With contributions from a panel of researchers in a range of fields, Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processes focuses on the utility of thermal infrared remote sensing data for understanding the fluxes and redistribution of materials as a key aspect of land surface processes and land-atmosphere interrelationships.

This one-of-a-kind resource takes a practical approach to the use of thermal remote sensing data in landscape characterization and analysis. Providing a background on the theory and principles of TIR remote sensing, the book highlights the importance of information obtained from thermal data and compares it to the type of data obtained by other methods. A how-to book illustrating the utility and applications of thermal remote sensing data in multidisciplinary earth science research, this book is useful as a professional reference or graduate text.

Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processes:

Presents studies where TIR data has contributed to a better understanding of land surface processes and land-atmosphere interactions
Promotes the wider usage of TIR data in research and modeling
Elucidates both the prospects and problems of using TIR data in land process research, making the book useful to those wishing to employ this data as a major component in Earth science research
Illustrates the virtues and importance of TIR data in remote sensing research to facilitate the future development of new and improved satellite and airborne TIR remote sensing systems
