Remote sensing observations, together with numerical models and
traditional measurement techniques, have become an invaluable tool for
studying hydrosphere and cryosphere changes in remote areas of the
North.
This book presents the state of the science informed by satellite
tracking of the changes now occurring in northern environments. New
data, and new ways to extract information, on snow cover, glaciers and
ice sheets, frozen rivers and lakes, permafrost and seasonally frozen
ground, surface water and soil moisture, and
evaporation/evapotranspiration will make this work an essential resource
as developments occur. This book will be of interest to scientists,
researchers, and students who wish to advance the study of northern
hydrology, and those in the biophysical sciences who want to learn about
current research.
"Remote Sensing in Northern Hydrology: Measuring Environmental Change"
will be available in December 2005 and can be preordered online:
