Summary: Takes a detailed but non-mathematical approach to the two broad areas of principles and applications of remote sensing. Also examines the physical principles on which remote sensing is based, equipment, techniques and data analysis before progressing to the application of remote sensing to both physical phenomena and events, to human activities and man-made landscapes. Uses examples of environmental remote sensing around the world and includes significant advances in the availability, uses and interpretation of microwave satellite data; the implications of the internet; scientific and commercial uses of remote sensing data; and continued evolution of satellite and sensor plans for the future.
