Allied to the powerful computer-basedmethodologies of Geographic Information Systems and imageprocessing and cartographic techniques, perhaps its most importantaspect is the way Environmental Remote Sensing (ERS) can allowsynoptic interpretation of complex geographical phenomena fromglobal to local scales. This book provides a benchmark collectionof papers to demonstrate the flexibility and power of ERStechniques in a variety of contexts and scales. To achieve thisend, a group of leading specialists have been invited to contributesurveys of the field. A high level of technical expertise is notrequired, making the book accessible to the research scientist, orstudent or professional wishing to assess the application of thesetechniques to his\/her own field of study.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePartial table of contents:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Environmental Issues at Regional to Global Scales (P.
