This book is focused on a specialized but important subject of coastal and marine ecosystem management based on remote sensing imageries, such as SAR from Sentinel-1, MSI from Sentinel-2A and Landsat, bathymetry form GEBCO, sea surface temperature (SST) from CMEMS, etc. It includes practical case studies with thematic data sets and clear step-by-step instructions for data processing. Key resources for advanced knowledge on coastal and marine ecosystem conservation, zonation, planning, and management based on satellite imaging data are also presented.
Features
- Provides innovative methods and advanced analytical approaches for processing satellite and radar data tailored to specific applications.
- Includes case studies of best practices in marine studies and coastal disaster management from Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and China.
- Explains how to build a new thematic spatial database system and how to develop an individual new thematic algorithm.
- Showcases thematic spatial database systems that serve as the foundation for local and national regulatory frameworks and support international solutions to environmental challenges.
- Describes limitations and future possibilities for additional studies.
This is a vital resource for professionals, researchers, and students using remote sensing applications in various fields, especially in marine sciences and oceanography.
