Infos

This book provides insight into advancing GIS and remote sensing technology in the field of mangrove ecosystem monitoring, offering traditional as well as advanced techniques for mangrove types, biophysical and biochemical parameters, retrieval, species identification, mapping classification, machine learning, physics-based approaches, challenges, and the way forward. This will incorporate the latest technology to derive biophysical and biochemical parameters using SAR data, hyperspectral data, and integration of data sets for the enhanced accuracy of the results and outcome. It also presents the advancement of geospatial technology using multispectral, hyperspectral, radar microwave, and LiDAR data in mangrove monitoring. The book will benefit academics and the research community with the latest research ideas, problem-solving skills, and future perspectives in forestry monitoring to aid mangrove-related developments globally. It is intended for marine ecologists, climate change scientists, universities, governments, industries, developers of sensors and other sophisticated tools for mangrove monitoring, and policymakers.

Autor

Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Srivastava is teaching and coordinating spatial science courses which include geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing and surveying courses that are part of Geospatial Analysis Minor. He has developed several innovative ways to engage students in learning spatial science and geospatial analysis. These innovative approaches include engaging students in field-based and lab-based activities, using diverse assessment-feedback regimes utilising web 2.0 tools, using Threshold Concepts Framework, using activity-based learning in the real-world environment, and using 3D models as well as animations in desktop and immersive environments. He has several years of experience in the application of geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques to natural resource and urban resources management. He has obtained his PhD degree in Geographical Sciences from The Australian National University where he tested several spatial models for predicting fish species distribution in the inland aquatic ecosystem. He worked with different organisations that include the Australian Defence Force Academy, the Bureau of Rural Sciences, The World Fish Centre, the National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources, and several locations at the Australian National University.

Dr Prashant K Srivastava is working at Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development, Banaras Hindu University as a faculty of Remote Sensing and Hydrology and was affiliated with Hydrological Sciences, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland, USA. He received his PhD degree from Department of Civil Engineering, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK. Prashant was the recipient of several awards such as NASA Fellowship; USA; University of Maryland Fellowship, USA; Commonwealth Fellowship, U.K. He is leading number of projects funded from reputed agencies in India as well as world. He was also a collaborator with NASA JPL on SMAP soil moisture calibration and validation as well as Scatsat-1, NISAR, AVIRIS-NG missions of India. Prashant made 280+ publications in peer-reviewed journals and published 16 books with reputed publishing house such as Springer, Taylor and Francis, AGU-Wiley and Elsevier. He is also acting as regional Editor Asia of Geocarto International, Associate Editor of Journal of Hydrology, Associate Editor of GIScience and Remote sensing, Associate Editor of Remote Sensing (MDPI), Associate Editor of Remote sensing application for society and environment and a few other. He is also featured in world top 2% scientist released by Scopus and Stanford university. Dr Tapas Biswas is a Senior Scientist in the Water Security Program of the CSIRO Environment Division. He has 34 years of research, teaching and consultancy experience in global water resources management. He has worked in a number of countries doing research and teaching in the field of soil and water science and received many national and international awards. Dr Biswas s current research includes River Basin water quality risk monitoring, Inland water quality remote sensing, modelling, forecasting and management, river productivity and river health monitoring, climate change and bushfires impacts on water resources. His most recent work on digital sensors forms a critical part of the Australia s first satellite mission, to monitor water quality from space. Dr Biswas has over 150 publications including international journals, conference proceedings and client reports. He is an associate editor of the Irrigation & Drainage (Wiley) journal. He is honorary professor with the NSHM, a senior academic staff (adjunct) with the Australian National University where he teaches and supervises research students. Dr. Mukunda Dev Behera is working as Professor in the Centre for Oceans, Rivers, Atmosphere and Land
