ABSTRACT

Integrated remote sensing and GIS-assisted problem solving now supports a remarkable array of domains (e.g., food and agricultural security, climate change, forest management, heritage preservation, and urban and regional planning) and is being con¦gured in a great variety of technical means. Given the sheer quantity of innovations reported in journals and books (including the Remote Sensing Handbook), any one expert may be keenly aware of only a fraction of the detailed remote sensing and related geospatial methods available to address a
