Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Third Edition, is a
definitive guide to remote sensing systems that focuses on satellite-based remote sensing …

The northern high latitudes have warmed by about 0.8° C since the early 1970s, but not all
areas have warmed uniformly [Hansen et al., 1999]. There is warming in most of Eurasia, but …

植被具有明显的年际变化和季节变化特点, 对植被的动态监测可以从一定程度上反映气候变化的
趋势, 因此监测植被动态变化以及分析这种变化与气候的关系已经成为全球变化研究的一个重要 …

A biogeochemical model of vegetation using observed climate data predicts the high
northern latitude greening trend over the past two decades observed by satellites and a …

This book discusses the fundamentals of land-use and land-cover characterization,
map**, and monitoring using remote sensing technology. After covering the basic …

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was launched in December
1999 on the polar orbiting Terra spacecraft and since February 2000 has been acquiring …

The relation between satellite measurements of the normalized difference vegetation index
(NDVI), cumulated over the growing season, and inventory estimates of forest woody …

Consistent NDVI time series are paramount in monitoring ecological resources that are
being altered by climate and human impacts. An increasing number of natural resource …

The only vegetation index (VI) used in all Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
(AVHRR)-based burned area studies performed so far is the normalized difference …

Vegetation fires occur worldwide, all year round and inject enormous amounts of trace
gases and particles into the atmosphere. Nonetheless, there is still great uncertainty as to …
