Overview

Remote Sensing and GIS in Peri-Urban Research: Perspectives on Global Change, Sustainability and Resilience, Eleventh Edition provides the most recent methods and techniques, incorporating geoinformatics-based practices to map, evaluate, and model urban landscape attributes and changes. The book provides theory, methodology, and future perspectives of remote sensing and GIS techniques applied to peri-urban modelling, analysis and sustainability through the use of spatio-temporal geospatial datasets. It also includes case studies of real-world data sets, with applicable algorithms, techniques and methods for study. This will be a useful reference for researchers and academics in remote sensing, GIS, and spatial analysis, and environmental or urban scientists wanting to implement remote sensing technologies in their research.

Author Information

Prof Mehebub Sahana is currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and Lecturer in GIS in the Department of Geography at The University of Manchester, UK. He is a cultural and environmental geographer with an interest in analysing land-use changes. Conceptually, his work focuses on landscape alterations and consequences on sustainability issues in developing countries. His present research interests include social-environmental interface, socio-ecological resilience and systems thinking; land cover change; rural-urban conversion and the socio-political implications of land-use dynamics. Dr Sahana contributes as a specialist analyst to the Peri-cene project that investigates peri-urbanization and climate risk in city-regions around the world.
