Contents Foreword 1 Image Enhancement 2 Thematic Information Extraction Image Classification 3 Digital Change Detection Bibliography IndexBiophysical material and man-made features on the surface of Earth are inventories using remote sensing and in situ techniquesThe information is often stored cartographically or in a geographic information system GIS Some of the data are static that is they do not change over time Conversely some biophysical materials and man-made features are dynamic changing rapidlyIt is important that such changes be inventoried accurately so that the physical and human process at work can be more fully understood Estes 1992; Jensen and Narumalani 1992 Therefore it is not surprising that significant effort has gone into the development of change detection methods using remotely sensed data This chapter reviews how change information is extracted form digital remotely sensed data It summarizes the remote sensor system change detection takes place Many of the most widely used change detection algorithms are identified and demonstrated where possible using rural and urban examples The general steps required to perform digital change detection using remotely sensed dataOne of the first requirements is to identify land-over classes of interest to be monitored and eventually placed in the change detection database This requires the selection of an appropriate classification schemeThis book will be of immense help to all those contemplating to acquire expert knowledge of tools for map analysis Jacket 236 pp.

Contents Preface 1 Air pollution and acid rain 2 Ozone depletion 3 Sea level rise 4 Bibliography Index Many of the major cities of the world are beset by environmental problems not the least of which is deterioration air quality Exposure to air pollution is now an almost incapable part of urban life throughout the world The available information shows that the air quality guidelines of the World Health Organization WHO are regularly being exceeded in many cities in some cases to a great extent Given the rate at which these cities are growing and the general absence of pollution control measures in many of them air pollution will probably worsen and the quality of life of many urban residents will continue to deteriorate Although some progress has been made in controlling air pollution in many industrialized countries over the last two decades air quality particularly in the larger cities of the developing countries is worsening The WHO Commission on Health and Environment which recently concluded its work identified urban air pollution as a major environmental health problem deserving high priority for action To assess the problems of urban air pollution in the worlds largest cities WHO and the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP initiated a detailed study of air quality in 20 megacities The study was carried out within the framework of the WHOUNEP urban air quality monitoring and assessment programme known as GEMS Air which is a component of the global environment monitoring system For the purposes of this study megacities were defined as urban agglomerations with current or projected populations of 10 million or more by the year 2020 This book contains details of air pollution controlled measures besides mitigating the effects of acid rain ozone depletion and sea level rise This will be of immense help to all those contemplating to acquire expert knowledge of these subjects 244 pp.

The central focus of this book is on environmental law and its protection in the age of rapid modernization. Environmental problems have attracted the attention of a wide cross section of people all over the world during the last two decades. People are becoming increasingly conscious of a variety of problems like global warming ozone layer depletion acid rain famines droughts floods scarcity of fuel firewood and fodder pollution of air and water and problems from hazardous chemicals and radiation which have adverse effects on the environment. It is clear that a concern for environment is essentially a desire to see that national development proceeds along rational sustainable lines. Environmental conservation is in fact the vary basis of all development. 368 pp.

Mining and environment. Bibliography. This is the comprehensive and critical analysis of environmental education and management. Environmental education is the education through about and for the environment. The objectives of environmental education are part of the general objectives of education which have been defined variously by different thinkers classifiers humanists and scientists. Environmental management aims at the development of the environment for human benefit it is the process of balancing the socio economic technological and ecological forces in the development and allocation of resources in order to fulfil the needs and aspirations of present and future generations. In doing so environmental management should work to preserve the maximum evolutionary potential of the biosphere. 252 pp.
