Springer Environmental Geoinformatics: Extreme Hydro-Climatic Challenges

This second edition of Environmental Geoinformatics addresses pressing hydro-climatic and food security challenges through advanced geospatial technologies and big data analysis. The updated volume expands on the first edition with five new chapters covering Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), CORONA historical de-classified products, Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles (UAVs), GNSS-reflectometry, and GNSS applications to climate variability. Shifting focus from traditional monitoring and management to contemporary extreme weather events and food security concerns, this Springer publication reflects the technological advances and increased demand for geospatial data in the big data era. The book serves researchers, professionals, and students seeking comprehensive coverage of modern geoinformatics applications for environmental science and engineering challenges.
