This book covers several themes related to forestry, agriculture, water, soil, urban, and atmospheric research. GIScience technology systems have increased in significance in recent decades and have the ability to acquire information at ground level with a higher spectral resolution using a field radio-spectrometer, which is a great improvement compared to other remote sensing systems. GIScience technology systems are widely used for solving and understanding the concept of forestry, crop, water resources, and related research themes. This book aims to advance the scientific understanding of GIScience technology and applications. The chapters present GIScience data integration with other sources such as LiDAR, Multi-spectral data and their applications in forestry, crop assessment, soil assessment, mineral mapping and related themes. The book will be of interest to geospatial experts, modellers, foresters, agricultural scientists, hyperspectral remote sensing and space community, ecologists and conservation communities, environmental consultants, big data compilers, and computing experts. .

"This book covers significant and updated contribution in the field of sustainable natural resources management linked to climate change. The updated knowledge from countries like India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the USA is presented in this book through selected case studies for major thematic areas that have basic preliminary concepts and elaborates the scientific understanding of the relationship between natural resources and climatic drivers, influence of climate change on agriculture, forest, water resources, etc. The book has been separated into six major themes each having subject-specific chapters to develop the concept and to present the findings in a lucid way that is useful for a wide range of readers. While the range of applications and innovative techniques is constantly increasing, this book provides a summary of key case studies to provide the most updated information. Chapters incorporate multi-source data and information that offer critical understanding to explain the causes and effects of environmental changes linked to natural resource management. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of environmental sciences, remote sensing, geographical information, meteorology, sociology and policy studies, etc. related to natural resource management and climate change. Also, scientists and graduate and post-graduate level students of various disciplines will find valuable information in this book. Webelieve that the book would be read by people with a common interest in sustainable development and other diverse backgrounds within earth observation"--
