Title Earth System Monitoring : Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology Author(s) Orcutt, John Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 2013. Description VI, 518 p : online resource Abstract Note Modern Earth System Monitoring represents a fundamental change in the way scientists study the Earth System.?? In Oceanography, for the past two centuries, ships have provided the platforms for observing.?? Expeditions on the continents and Earth???s poles are land-based analogues. Fundamental understanding of current systems, climate, natural hazards, and ecosystems has been greatly advanced. While these approaches have been remarkably successful, the need to establish measurements over time can only be made using Earth observations and observatories with exacting standards and continuous data.?? The 19 peer-reviewed contributions in this volume provide early insights into this emerging view of Earth in both space and time in which change is a critical component of our growing??understanding. Presents 19 authoritative, peer-reviewed entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology Covers a wide range of data collection platforms, including satellite remote sensing, aerial surveys, and land- and ocean-based monitoring stations Features a glossary of key terms and a concise definition of the subject for each contribution Written for an audience of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals in academia, industry, and government ISBN,Price 9781461456841 Keyword(s) 1.
