Riassunto

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and Riverine Environments provides an overview of how unmanned aerial systems have revolutionized our capability to monitor river systems, soil characteristics, and related processes at unparalleled spatio-temporal resolutions. This capability has enabled enhancements in our capacity to describe water cycle and hydrological processes. The book includes guidelines, technical advice, and practical experience to support practitioners and scientists in increasing the efficiency of monitoring with the help of UAS. The book contains field survey datasets to use as practical exercises, allowing proposed techniques and methods to be applied to real world case studies.

He has broad interest on distributed modeling, flood prediction, stochastic processes in hydrology, soil moisture process, delineation of flood prone areas, vegetation patterns and UAS-based monitoring.

Eyal Ben-Dor is a full professor at the Tel Aviv University (TAU) and was the chair of the Geography and Human Environment Department at Tel-Aviv University from 2005-2009 and again from 2012-2015. Currently he is serving as the head of the remote sensing laboratory (RSL) within this department and a GEO principle of Israel under the Israel Space Agency appointment and mandate. He has more than 24 years’ experience in remote sensing of the Earth, with special emphasis on the Hyperspectral Remote Sensing technology (HRS) and soil spectroscopy.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Monitoring Soil, Vegetation, and River Systems provides an overview of the ways in which Unmanned Aerial Systems have revolutionized our capability to monitor river systems, and soil characteristics and processes at unparalleled spatio-temporal resolutions, which has in turn led to enhancements in our capacity to describe water cycle and hydrological processes. This book includes guidelines, technical advice and practical experience to support practitioners, and scientists to raise efficiency of monitoring with the help of UAS. Moreover, the book will contain a dataset of field surveys that may be used as practical exercises in order to allow the application of the proposed techniques or methods to real study cases.
