As more natural lands are transformed into urban lands with more people in urban areas, it is important to understand how these environmental changes may impact living conditions and the ecosystem. This book summarizes current satellite observing capacities and the growing demand for continuous local, regional, and global observation data by different government agencies in many countries and research groups. It provides academic faculties, students, researchers, and government decision makers with a reference that summarizes the state-of-the-art in remote sensing techniques and environmental assessment methods.
