Remote Sensing Geology

For the third edition, this widely acclaimed book has been fully revised, expanded and updated. It covers remote sensing techniques, sensors and data interpretation in a wide range of optical, thermal and microwave wavelengths and their geologic applications, including sample applications from around the globe. In addition, it presents state-of-the-art content on emerging topics, such as atmospheric corrections, spectroscopy, spectral indices, prospectivity modeling, and multi-sensor geodata integration. The subject matter is presented at a basic level, offering students an excellent introductory text on remote sensing. Further, the book is a valuable resource for active researchers. Excerpt from a review of the second edition, published in International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 5 (2004) 239-240 : "....Graduate students, research workers and professional Earth scientists will use this book to their advantage and with pleasure; it is well-written, to the point and with an emphasis on understanding the principles underlying this wide spectrum of technology in its application to the Earth sciences. Remote sensing is a fascinating subject; so is geology. The author has fully succeeded in providing a fascinating book that combines them in a handy volume."
