Satellite Remote Sensing of Terrestrial Hydrology
Satellite Remote Sensing of Terrestrial Hydrology
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030995763 | 689 Pages | PDF (True) | 26 MB
This book highlights several opportunities that exist in satellite remote sensing of large-scale terrestrial hydrology. It lays bare the novel concept of remote sensing hydrology and demonstrates key applications of advance satellite technology and new methods in advancing our fundamental understanding of environmental systems. This includes, using state-of-the-art satellite hydrology missions like the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and other multi-mission satellite systems as important tools that underpin water resources planning and accounting. This book discusses and demonstrates how the efficacy, simplicity, and sophistication in novel computing platforms for big earth observation data can help facilitate environmental monitoring and improve contemporary understanding of climate change impacts on freshwater resources. It also provides opportunities for practitioners and relevant government agencies to leverage satellite-based information in a transdisciplinary context to address several environmental issues affecting society. This book provides a general framework and highlights methods to help improve our understanding of hydrological processes and impact analysis from extreme events (e.g., droughts, floods) and climate change.

Russian 'Hybrid Warfare' and the Annexation of Crimea The Modern Application of Soviet Political Warfare

Russian 'Hybrid Warfare' and the Annexation of Crimea The Modern Application of Soviet Political Warfare
Kent DeBenedictis, "Russian 'Hybrid Warfare' and the Annexation of Crimea: The Modern Application of Soviet Political Warfare"
English | ISBN: 0755639995 | 2021 | 280 pages | EPUB | 1422 KB
Western academics, politicians, and military leaders alike have labelled Russia's actions in Crimea and its follow-on operations in Eastern Ukraine as a new form of "Hybrid Warfare." In this book, Kent DeBenedictis argues that, despite these claims, the 2014 Crimean operation is more accurately to be seen as the Russian Federation's modern application of historic Soviet political warfare practices-the overt and covert informational, political, and military tools used to influence the actions of foreign governments and foreign populations.
