Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems

Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems

Detailed and accurate information on the spatial distribution of individual species over large spatial extents and over multiple time periods is critical for rapid response and effective management of environmental change. The twenty first century has witnessed a rapid development in both fine resolution sensors and statistical theories and techniques. These innovations hold great potential for improved accuracy of species mapping using remote sensing. Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems is a collection of eight cutting-edge studies of fine spatial resolution remote sensing including species mapping of biogenic and coral reefs seagrasses salt and freshwater marshes and grasslands. The studies illustrate the power of fine resolution imagery for species identification as well as the value of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery as an ideal source of high-quality reference data at the species level. The studies also highlight the benefit of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data for species identification and how this varies depending on the species of interest as well as the nature of the context in which the species is found. The broad range of applications explored in the book demonstrates the major contribution of remote sensing to species-level terrestrial and coastal ecosystem studies as well as the potential for future advances.

Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Gangs are growing in many different social economic and political environments coupled with an alarming breakdown of public order. Failures to contain or reduce gang crime in European Asian South American African and North American cities may be symptoms of fundamental problems threatening the fabric of many societies. The spread of gangs to suburbia and remote locations is a palpable worldwide threat. But despite nearly a century of scholarly inquiry into street gangs and youth subcultures no single work systematically reflects on comparative international experiences with gangs. Gangs and Youth Subcultures takes up this challenge. Kayleen Hazlehurst and Cameron Hazlehurst argue that theories of gang behavior in immigrant communities and the influence of transnational crime syndicates are better tested in more than one host society. Similar phenomena would be better understood if placed in a comparative context. To this purpose the editors assembled expert scholars and policy advisers from North America Europe South Africa and Australasia. Gangs and Youth Subculture lays the groundwork for an explanation of why gangs continue to grow in strength and influence and why they have spread to remote locations. Kayleen Hazlehurst and Cameron Hazlehurst present new findings and innovative preventive strategies in a clear concise fashion. No other work brings together experts on gangs and youth subcultures from so many countries. As such this trailblazing book will interest scholars and teachers of criminology and sociology justice system administrators as well as law enforcement officers and youth workers internationally. | Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Caravans in Socio-Cultural Perspective Past and Present

Ranging across space and time this book brings together up-to-date research on the socio-cultural phenomenon of caravans. It shows that caravans for long-distance trade in arid lands are present in both the Old and New Worlds. Alongside historical and archival records ethnographic analyses of modern caravans provide theoretical frameworks for reconstructing aspects of ancient caravans such as behaviour ritual and material culture. The volume reflects on the changing foci of caravan research and the future of caravans when memories of living caravaners are fading and the fragile and remote nature of caravan-related sites means that they are at risk. It will be relevant to scholars from anthropology archaeology and history and others with an interest in trade travel and nomadism. | Caravans in Socio-Cultural Perspective Past and Present

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision agriculture (PA) involves the application of technologies and agronomic principles to manage spatial and temporal variation associated with all aspects of agricultural production in order to improve crop performance and environmental quality. The focus of this book is to introduce a non-specialist audience to the the role of PA in food security environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources as well as its economic benefits. The technologies covered include yield monitors and remote sensing and the key agronomic principles addressed are the optimal delivery of fertilizers water and pesticides to crops only when and where these are required. As a result it is shown that both food production and resource efficiency can be maximized without waste or damage to the environment such as can occur from excessive fertilizer or pesticide applications. The authors of necessity describe some technicalities about PA but the overall aim is to introduce readers who are unfamiliar with PA to this very broad subject and to demonstrate the potential impact of PA on the environment and economy. The book shows how farmers can place sustainability of the environment at the centre of their operations and that this is improved with the application of PA. The range of topics described includes sampling and mapping weed and pest control proximal and remote sensing spatio-temporal analysis for improving management management zones and water management. These are illustrated with case studies on sampling and mapping biofuels from sugar cane and maize paddy rice cultivation and cotton production.

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

The Communication Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) systems provide air traffic controllers with the information necessary to ensure the specified separation between aircraft and efficient management of airspace as well as assistance to flight crew for safe navigation. However the radar systems that support air traffic management (ATM) and in particular air traffic control (ATC) are at their operational limit. This is particularly acute in the provision of the ATC services in low altitude remote and oceanic areas. Limitations in the current surveillance systems include unavailability of services in oceanic and remote areas limited services during extreme weather conditions and outdated equipment with limited availability of spare parts to support system operation. These limitations have resulted in fatal accidents. This book addresses the limitations of radar to support ATC in various operational environments identified and verified by analysing five years of safety data from Avinor the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) in Norway. It derives a set of taxonomy and from this develops a causal model for incident/accident due to limitations in the surveillance system. The taxonomy provides a new method for ANSPs to categorize incidents while the causal model is useful for incident/accident investigations. The book also provides theoretical justifications for the use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) to overcome the limitations of radar systems and identify areas of improvements to enable seamless ATC services. Written in a style that makes it accessible to non-specialists Aircraft Surveillance Systems will be of interest to many in the field of aviation particularly ATM safety and accident/incident investigation. It will also offer a useful reference on this vital topic for air traffic management courses. | Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
