| Summary |
"The number of Earth observation satellites launched in recent years is growing exponentially, along with the datasets they gather from free-to-access and commercial providers. The second edition of Practical Handbook of Remote Sensing is updated with a new chapter, new explanations and practical examples using the Copernicus satellite data and new versions of the open-source software. Thoroughly revised, and intended for those with no prior knowledge of remote sensing, the handbook continues to be a practical "how-to" guide. Professionals in administration, urban planning, environmental management, and students of geography and geosciences, will find this book helpful"-- Provided by publisher |

| Notes |
Samantha Lavender, PhD, has more than 30 years of remote sensing research experience, focusing on using Earth observation to help answer questions about our planet's resources and behavior. After earning a PhD, she focused on the remote sensing of the Humber plume using airborne data, and was a researcher at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and then a lecturer at the University of Plymouth. In 2012, with Andrew, she formed Pixalytics Ltd and is the Managing Director of this commercial remote sensing company. Dr. Lavender is also an Associate Editor for Remote Sensing of Environment, and has an ongoing active interest in research alongside widening the community using remotely sensed data. She has previously served the community as chairman of the British Association of Remote Sensing Companies (BARSC), chairman of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPSoc), and Treasurer for the European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL). Andrew Lavender is a novice remote sensor. Having founded Pixalytics Ltd alongside his wife, he primarily focuses on the company's administrative and social media activities. Andrew occasionally undertakes modest aspects of simple remote sensing to produce marketing images, and acts as the 'future reader' of the book, including testing all of the exercises. Outside of Pixalytics, he is a short story and flash fiction writer and teaches creative writing |
