About the Author :
Emilio Chuvieco is a professor of geography and director of the Environmental Ethics chair at the University of Alcala, Spain. He was a visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley and Santa Barbara, the Canadian Remote Sensing Center, Cambridge University, and the University of Maryland. In addition, he is science leader of the Fire Disturbance project within the European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative program. He has coauthored 330 papers and book chapters, and 23 books. He has advised 35 Ph.D. dissertations. He is currently co-editor-in-chief of the journal Remote Sensing of Environment

Review :
"… this book comprehensively covers the fundamentals of satellite remote sensing, including radiation physics, atmospheric correction, spectral signatures of ground targets, sensors, image processing and analysis, and information retrieval. It also includes enlightening chapters on the validation of satellite-retrieved information and the integration of remote sensing data with geographical information systems. The breadth and depth of this book benefit greatly from the author’s wide range of research experience in various fields of remote sensing applications. The text is well written and easy to follow, and the figures are well crafted and informative. It can be an ideal choice as a textbook for an introductory course on satellite remote sensing of the land surface, and it can also be a dependable desktop copy for remote sensing scientists and professionals." —Dr. Jing M. Chen, University of Toronto, Canada "… one of the most easy-to-follow, best-organised and accessible overviews of the topic. The inclusion in this second edition of ample schematic examples and conceptual colour illustrations is very helpful in explaining the hard-to-grasp terminology that, more often than not, remote sensing textbooks fail to disentangle. … It is an excellent resource for students and practitioners alike." —Dr. Elias Symeonakis, School of Science and the Environment, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK "I value this book highly because it deals with the whole remote sensing chain in a systematic way. … a comprehensive introduction into the field of remote sensing. It covers all relevant aspects of the remote observation of the Earth’s surface …" —Dr. Jan Clevers, Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing, Wageningen University, the Netherlands "… It is an absolutely essential read for undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to get on top of the basics in image processing and classification." —Kevin Tansey, University of Leicester, UK "… ideal for an introductory course on remote sensing." —Viviana Maggioni, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA "…a valuable book providing a thorough introduction into the field of earth observation, which will be very valuable as a book of reference for many years. It can be an ideal choice as a textbook for an introductory course on satellite remote sensing of the land surface. The text is well written and easy to follow, and as such highly recommended for students at the undergraduate level." —International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, May 2016 "…a good textbook for teaching, a useful source for post-graduate researchers, and a valuable reference source for managers and practitioners." —International Journal of Digital Earth, July 2016 "I think that this book is an extremely informative and useful resource for students, instructors, researchers, and professionals in the geospatial field and in ecology. Not only does the book discuss issues in a concise and clear way, but the graphics and imagery used are very informative and help to clarify potentially confusing concepts. The bibliography is particularly helpful as it allows the reader to easily delve into detail on a certain topic. I recommend this book highly as an addition to any library on remote sensing." —WAML Information Bulletin, November 2016 "This book is an attempt to help students and professionals become more familiar with remote sensing technology, focusing on satellite remote sensing. All remote sensing aspects are described, from the physical basis to obtain information from a distance, to the operation of platform carrying out the sensor system, to the data acquisition, storage, and interpretation. There are a multitude of airborne sensing systems. Among them, those focused on the thermal emission from the earth, centered on the short wave infrared (SWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR), have their place in the book."—QIRT Journal, December 2016 "…a useful addition to more mainstream remote sensing texts." —The Photogrammetric Record, March 2017 "…has a good general coverage of remote sensing technology and has an excellent coverage of applications related to environmental systems." —Geospatial World, March 2017 "Chuvieco provides an complete overview of satellite remote sensing containing a suitable mix of theory and interesting practical examples. The book can be considered a valuable resource for environmental practitioners considering the use of satellite remote sensing as source of information. For these readers the use of consistent example images demonstrates the power of satellite remote sensing to extract a wide range of information. This will enable readers to gain insights as to how these techniques can be applied to their problems and their parts of the world." —Journal of Spatial Information Science, No 14 (2017)
