About The Book

The process of remote sensing involves the detection and measurement wavelengths reflected or emitted from distant objects or materials, by which they may be identified and categorized by class/type] substance, and spatial distribution. Agriculture has been at the top of our priorities for space applications. Since then, space applications to agriculture sector have touched almost all the segments of agricultural ecosystems. These include the mapping and monitoring of major crops, soils/degrades lands, command areas, wastelands, surface & ground water, floods & drought, and watersheds. The book offers a step-by-step appreciation of Remote Sensing in Geography as a discipline and Geographic Information System as a tool to understand the real world, to the one who strives to change the world in a better and more meaningful way.
