"Advances in Geoscience and Remote Sensing" ed. by Gary Jedlovec (Repost)

This volume is a collection of contributions from world-class scientists, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s), that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object (such as by way of aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, buoy, or ship).
