Geospatial Techniques in Climate Change Monitoring and Environmental Mapping: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Risk Reduction presents a comprehensive examination of innovative geospatial methods utilized to address the challenges posed by climate change across various sectors. The book encompasses a wide array of topics, including the application of remote sensing in agriculture, urban climate change mitigation, and the evaluation of land use effects on surface temperatures. It highlights the integration of advanced technologies such as machine learning and satellite imagery to enhance drought risk mapping, deforestation detection, and flood prediction, providing valuable insights into environmental sustainability. Moreover, the text emphasizes participatory approaches and the role of local communities in climate resilience. By synthesizing interdisciplinary perspectives, the book underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. Ultimately, this work serves as a vital resource for researchers and practitioners committed to leveraging geospatial techniques for effective climate change risk reduction and environmental management.
