Reviews
... a well organized and highly readable overview of many of the most powerful and significant applications of practical remote sensing. ... The book is sure to clarify concepts both old and new while stimulating interest in the new. ... The great difficulty in a book of this type is to stay relevant in a world of ever changing technology. The author has done an excellent job in doing this, in a clear and readable manner. I feel that this book will become the standard reference for practitioners and students alike. -Dr Ralph N.Baker, Independent Consulting Geologist, Houston, Texas ... provides an earth scientist with a very efficient, one-stop information shop that covers not only the standard reflected light, thermal, and radar systems, but also the very important geophysical sensors such as potential field, EM, GPR, side-scan sonar, etc. ... an important contribution for earth scientists trying to understand how remote sensing imagery and vegetation can be used to create better maps of the earth's geology. -James Ellis, Ellis GeoSpatial Dr. Prost has clearly and thoroughly explained the wide variety of methods and applications ... Geoscientists will find this comprehensive guide to the interpretation and integration of remote sensing data to be a welcome addition to their personal libraries. -Dr. Dietmar (Deet) Schumacher, Vice President for Geosciences and technology, E&P Field Services A new book by Prost is an amazing guide to the field of remote sensing, and it will remain so for years. Difficult to imagine, but the author was able to collect so huge amount of information that his writing can be judged as an ultimate reference volume irrespectively of which particular technique the reader is interested in.
