Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Wa n g Taylor & Francis Series in Remote Sensing Applications Qihao Weng, Series Editor R E M OT E S E N S I N G of PROTECTED LANDS RR EE MM OO TT EE R National parks, wildlife refuges and sanctuaries, natural reserves, conserva- oE tion areas, frontier lands, and marine protected areas are increasingly recog- nized as essential providers of ecosystem services and biological resources. f SS EE NN SS II NN GG As debates about climate change and sustainability intensify, protected areas M become more important as indicators of ecosystem conditions in particular P environments or in comparison with adjacent environments. R Remote Sensing of Protected Lands showcases state-of-the-art O O remote sensing applications for the inventory and monitoring of protected ooff areas. Contributions from renowned scholars and experts from around the TT world are organized into four sections covering the use of remote sensing in changing landscapes and change detection; inventory, mapping, and E conservation; inventory and monitoring of frontier lands; and decision E PP RROOTT EE CC TT EE DD LL AA NN DD SS C support for the management of protected lands. Combining reviews of theories and methods with analysis of case studies, T the book gives readers both a systematic view of the field and detailed S E knowledge of specific topics. Case studies explore key topics in the context of a wide range of protected areas, including national parks in the United DE States and Canada, the Albertine Rift in eastern Africa, the Amazon forests, the Changbai Mountain region in Northeast Asia, the frontier lands in Siberia N and the Tibetan Plateau, and marine protected areas along the tropical and L temperate Pacific and Atlantic coasts. 5 km A S Alongside each case study, the book examines advanced remote sensing N technologies such as airborne and spaceborne high spatial resolution imager- I ies, multispectral and multitemporal time series data, satellite interferometric D synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), and the integration of remote sensing and N 0 2.83cm field measurements for information extraction and modeling. Discussing S challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations, this book provides a snapshot of how remote sensing techniques can be used to gather extensive G spatial, spectral, temporal, and thematic information on protected lands and waters.
