Description
SPRINGER Geohazards And Risks Studied From Earth Observations (Hb 2022) by LOPEZ T.
The Sentinel missions of the COPERNICUS Programme of the European Union, as well as other Earth Observation missions, provide new opportunities for systematic monitoring of natural and man-made hazards and disasters that can highly impact human societies.The contributions collected in this book address a broad range of geohazards observable from space, including earthquakes, volcanic hazards, extreme events (e.g. storm surges, floods and droughts), fires, pollution, tipping points in physical and biological systems, etc.. They provide information on how space observations can improve our understanding of the driving mechanisms at the origin of such geohazards, and of their mutual interactions. Focus is given on the expected added-value information obtained by combining different types of space-based and in situ observations as well as model results.The chapters "Space-Based Earth Observations for Disaster Risk Management", "Earth Observation for the Assessment of Earthquake Hazard, Risk and Disaster Management", "Earth Observation for Crustal Tectonics and Earthquake Hazards", "Earth Observations for Monitoring Marine Coastal Hazards and Their Drivers", "Air Pollution and Sea Pollution Seen from Space" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.Previously published in Surveys in Geophysics, Volume 41, Issue 6, 2020 Guest Editorial: International Space Science Institute (ISSI) Workshop on Geohazards and Risks Studied from Earth Observations Earth Observations for Coastal Hazards Monitoring and International Services: A European Perspective Space-Based Earth Observations for Disaster Risk Management Early Warning from Space for a Few Key Tipping Points in Physical, Biological, and Social-Ecological Systems Geoscientists in the Sky: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Responding to GeohazardsEarth Observation for the Assessment of Earthquake Hazard, Risk and Disaster Management Earth Observation for Crustal Tectonics and Earthquake Hazards Remote Sensing for Assessing Landslides and Associated Hazards Fire Danger Observed from SpaceOn the Use of Satellite Remote Sensing to Detect Floods and Droughts at Large ScalesEarth Observations for Monitoring Marine Coastal Hazards and Their DriversContributions of Space Missions to Better Tsunami Science: Observations, Models and WarningsAir Pollution and Sea Pollution Seen from Space Geomagnetic Field Processes and Their Implications for Space Weather
