Remote Sensing of Agriculture and Land CoverLand Use Changes in South and Southeast Asian Countries


Free Download Krishna Prasad Vadrevu, "Remote Sensing of Agriculture and Land Cover/Land Use Changes in South and Southeast Asian Countries"
English | ISBN: 3030923649 | 2022 | 644 pages | PDF | 33 MB
This book sheds new light on the remote sensing of agriculture in South/Southeast Asian (S/SEA) countries. S/SEA countries are growing rapidly in terms of population, industrialization, and urbanization. One of the critical challenges in the region is food security. In S/SEA, although total food production and productivity have increased in previous decades, in recent years, the growth rate of food production has slowed down, mostly due to land use change, market forces and policy interventions. Further, the weather and climate systems in the region driven primarily by monsoon variability are resulting in droughts or flooding, impacting agricultural production. Therefore, monitoring crops, including agricultural land cover changes at regular intervals, is essential to predict and prepare for disruptions in the food supply in the S/SEA countries.

Sensing Others Voicing Batek Ethical Lives at the Edge of a Malaysian Rainforest


Free Download Alice Rudge, "Sensing Others: Voicing Batek Ethical Lives at the Edge of a Malaysian Rainforest"
English | ISBN: 1496235460 | 2023 | 326 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Sensing Others explores the lives of Indigenous Batek people in Peninsular Malaysia amid the strange and the new in the borderland between protected national park and oil palm plantation. As their ancestral forests disappear around them, Batek people nevertheless attempt to live well among the strange Others they now encounter: out-of-place animals and plants, traders, tourists, poachers, and forest guards. How Batek people voice their experiences of the good and the strange in relation to these Others challenges essentialized notions of cultural and species difference and the separateness of ethical worlds.

Remote Sensing for Hydrocarbon Exploration


Free Download Remote Sensing for Hydrocarbon Exploration by Andreas Laake
English | EPUB | 2022 | 394 Pages | ISBN : 3030733181 | 462.70 MB
This book provides insights into the benefits of using remote sensing data from a geoscientist’s perspective, by integrating the data with the understanding of Earth’s surface and subsurface. In 3 sections, the book takes a detailed look at what data explorationists use when they explore for hydrocarbon resources, assess different terrain types for planning and hazards and extract present-day geologic analogs for subsurface geologic settings.
