This book presents cutting-edge remote sensing research, outlining the advanced exploitation of European Space Agency (ESA) satellite data within the framework of climate change.
The ESA, through its Support to Science Element (STSE) Programme, funds a network of young post-doc scientists undertaking 2-year cutting-edge research in the area of remote sensing. This so-called "Changing Earth Science Network" focuses on the exploitation of Earth Observation (EO) data to address major issues related the broader context of climate change under five scientific research domains: oceans, atmosphere, cryosphere, land and solid earth.
