Ravi Shankar Dwivedi: Advances in Geospatial Modelling of Soil Erosion, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book provides an update on remote sensing and related technologies, photogrammetry, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and information and communication technologies for readers to comprehend the applications of the technologies for soil erosion studies.

A focus is set on both water and wind erosion. Besides, there is an exclusive coverage of the basics of various soil erosion models used for estimation of soil erosion. The book follows a logical structure by providing illustrative examples of the potentials of remote sensing and related technologies in the assessment and monitoring of soil erosion and the assessment of the impact of soil and water conservation measures.

The book appeals to students and researchers in geography, soil science, geomorphology as well as professionals and practitioners of soil and water conservation programs and related disciplines.
