Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

There have been numerous advances in thermal infrared (TIRS) sensors, analytical techniques and applications in recent years. A number of new satellite platforms have launched with TIR capabilities, and others will be ready for launch in the near future. This book builds upon the book Thermal Remote Sensing in Land Surface Processing and provides new and updated information on thermal remote sensing satellite and aircraft-borne sensors. It includes examples of new analysis and modeling techniques, applications on land and water bodies, provides insight into what TIR sensors will be launched in the near future, and includes an open source/digital format with additional interactive materials in each chapter.

Features

• Highlights the latest and updated information on TIR remote sensing, current TIR sensors and future sensors.
• Explains new and updated TIRS sensor analytical techniques.
• Focuses on new modeling techniques to derive information on land and water surface processes from TIR sensor data.
• Includes relevant and updated examples of applications of TIR sensor data to land surface and water body processes.
• Provides examples of linkage of TIR sensor data with hyperspectral and other remote sensing datasets.

This book is for professionals, academics, and students who are part of remote sensing and geospatial community, environmental science community, geologists, geographers, ecologists, spatial statisticians and all those involved in quantitative analysis. It is also an excellent resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in photogrammetry and image processing in information science and engineering.

Informazioni sull'autore

Dr. Kerry Cawse-Nicholson is the Assistant Manager of the Earth Science Section at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, USA, since 2016. She is an expert in spectroscopic imagery, particularly in fusing datasets acquired over different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and in quantifying uncertainty. Kerry works as part of several mission teams, as the Science Lead for ECOSTRESS – a thermal radiometer mounted on the International Space Station – and the co-lead for the Algorithms Working Group for an upcoming space-borne mission designated to study the Earth’s Surface Biology and Geology (SBG). Kerry studies land surface temperature, wildfires, evapotranspiration, and biodiversity, and produces a number of publicly available data products. She also serves as an invited working group member of the land processes distributed active archive center (LP DAAC) which distributes these products.

Dr. Jeffrey C. Luvall recently retired as a Senior Research Scientist at NASA and has worked at Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville, Alabama since 1990. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Georgia. Dr. Luvall served as NASA Mission Application Representative for HyspIRI to provide expert scientific advice on applications use of HyspIRI data and models. HyspIRI is a planned global NASA Hyperspectral visible/multispectral thermal satellite mission. He is internationally recognized as a teacher with his appointment (1999-2000) to the Walter Bean/Canada Trust Fellowship, Visiting Professor in the Environment Faculty of Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo Canada. Dr. Luvall is a recipient of the American Meteorological Society’s 2015 Helmut E. Landsberg Award for original contributions and leadership in using high-resolution thermal remote sensing data to understand the urban heat island effect and its environmental consequence.

Dr. Simon J. Hook is a Senior Research Scientist in the Science Division at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His research is focused on improving our understanding of geologic, hydrodynamic and ecologic processes on planets. He is currently studying large lakes, wildfires and mineral distributions on Earth. He has also applied his knowledge of terrestrial geologic processes to other planets, in particular Mars. Simon has served in a variety of Project, Program and Line management positions at JPL. These include the Principal Investigator (PI) for ECOSTRESS, HyTES and MASTER, the ASTER Project Scientist, the Discipline Program Manager for Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems, the Engineering and Science Directorate (ESD) Chief Scientist, the Manager for the Earth Science Section and Manager for the Science Division. He is also the Principal Investigator or co-investigator of several NASA ROSES proposals. Dr. Christine Lee is a scientist in the terrestrial hydrology group who focuses on applications of remote sensing to water quality, water resources, and ecosystems management.

Christine Lee joined JPL in 2014 after working for 2 years at NASA Headquarters in the Applied Sciences Program through the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Technology Fellowship Program. She received her PhD in Environmental Engineering from UCLA in 2010. In 2019 she was awarded the NASA Early Career Public Achievement Medal.
