Use of Meta-Heuristic Techniques in Rainfall-Runoff Modelling
Each year, extreme floods, which appear to be occurring more frequently in recent years (owing to climate change), lead to enormous economic damage and human suffering around the world. It is therefore imperative to be ...
Volcanic Plumes.Impacts on the Atmosphere and Insights into Volcanic Processes
(2019)
Volcanoes release plumes of gas and ash to the atmosphere during episodes of passive and explosive behavior. These ejecta have important implications for the chemistry and composition of the troposphere and stratosphere, ...
Volatile Organic Compounds in Environment
(2017)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from both static and mobile sources (e.g., industrial, transport, household, fossil fuels use, and many other sources). They are emitted into the atmosphere, taken up by plants, ...
Ocean Remote Sensing with Synthetic Aperture Radar
(2018)
The ocean covers approximately 71% of the Earth’s surface, 90% of the biosphere and contains 97% of Earth’s water. The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can image the ocean surface in all weather conditions and day or night. ...
Urban Deformation Monitoring using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry and SAR tomography
(2019)
This book focuses on remote sensing for urban deformation monitoring. In particular, it highlights how deformation monitoring in urban areas can be carried out using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) and Synthetic ...
Urban Land and Sustainable Development
(2017)
According to the 2014 revision of the World Urbanization Prospects by UN DESA, urbanization could add another 2.5 billion people to urban population by 2050, with close to 90 percent of the increase concentrated in Asia ...
Urban Inequality
(2018)
After the impact of the 2007 crisis and post-crisis austerity policies, cities are being reconfigured under the auspices of inequality. The objective of this book is to study inequality in the city at different scales and ...
Urban Land Systems: An Ecosystems Perspective
(2018)
Global urbanization creates challenges towards sustainability and human well-being. Urban areas are dependent on the ecosystems beyond the city limits but also benefit from the internal urban green places. An understanding ...
Urban and Periurban Forest Diversity and Ecosystem Service
(2017)
Recent special issues in various journals have focused on “urban ecosystem services”. There is also an increasing amount of studies on “urban ecology”, “urban tree management”, “arboriculture”, “urban biodiversity”, and ...
