Covering recent developments in satellite observation data undertaken for monitoring forest areas from global to national levels, this book highlights operational tools and systems for monitoring forest ecosystems. It provides dynamic information on the location and evolution of forest resources necessary to properly define, implement, and evaluate strategies related to multilateral environmental agreements such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and tackles the technical issues surrounding the ability to produce accurate and consistent estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and...

Satellite remote sensing, in particular by radar altimetry, is a crucial technique for observations of the ocean surface and of many aspects of land surfaces, and of paramount importance for climate and environmental studies. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the satellite altimetry techniques and related missions, and reviews the most-up-to date applications to ocean dynamics and sea level. It also discusses related space-based observations of the ocean surface (ocean salinity) and of the marine geoid, as well as applications of satellite altimetry to the cryosphere and...
