"Case Studies from Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems Satellite remote sensing presents
an amazing opportunity to inform biodiversity conservation by inexpensively gathering
repeated monitoring information for vast areas of the Earth. However, these observations
first need processing and interpretation if they are to inform conservation action.
Through a series of case studies, this book presents detailed examples of the application
of satellite remote sensing, covering both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, to
conservation. The authors describe how collaboration between the remote sensing and
conservation communities makes satellite data functional for operational conservation,
and provide concrete examples of the lessons learned in addition to the scientific
details. The editors, one at NASA and the other at a conservation NGO, have brought
together leading researchers in conservation remote sensing to share their experiences
from project development through to application, and emphasise the human side of these
projects"
