Books in the Topics in Remote Sensing series

This book surveys some of the highly ingenious non-destructive methods for detecting and mapping remains of ancient cultures. Some of the techniques included are low-level air photography, magnetic, thermal, electric, and electromagnetic geophysical prospecting. The authors' aim is to to build a visual geographic system available for use by conservationists, historians and scientists alike.

Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are inherently linked technologies. Together, they form a powerful tool to measure, map, monitor and model resources and environmental data for both scientific and commercial applications. This 1997 book addresses improved techniques, applications and research in integrated remote sensing and geographical information systems.
