en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 sep 2022
Applications of remote sensing technology for monitoring and predicting water-related hazards Water-related hazards such as floods and droughts have serious impacts on society. Their incidence has increased in recent decades, a trend set to continue with ongoing climate change. Adaptation and mitigation measures require accurate detection, monitoring, and forecasting, much of which comes from remote sensing technologies. Remote Sensing of Water-Related Hazards takes an interdisciplinary approach, presenting recent advances in the available data, sensors, models, and indicators developed for monitoring and prediction. Volume highlights include: * Progress in remote sensing of precipitation, storms, and tornados * Different techniques for flood mapping, forecasting, and early warning * Integrated approach for predicting flood and landslide cascading hazards * Satellite monitoring of water cycle variation, water scarcity, and drought conditions * Multi-indicator and multi-sensor approaches for quantifying drought impacts The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Descriere

Practical and Theoretical Geoarchaeology, Second Edition, provides an invaluable and vastly updated overview of geoarchaeology and how it can be used effectively in the study of archaeological sites and contexts. Taking a pragmatic and functional approach, this book presents:

  • a fundamental, broad-based perspective of the essentials of modern geoarchaeology in order to demonstrate the breadth of the approaches and the depth of the problems that it can tackle.
  • the rapid advances made in the area in recent years, but also gives the reader a firm grasp of conventional approaches.
  • covers traditional topics with the emphasis on landscapes, as well as anthropogenic deposits and site formation processes and their investigation.
  • provides guidelines for the presentation of field and laboratory methods and the reporting of geoarchaeological results.
  • essential reading for archaeology undergraduate and graduate students, practicing archaeologists and geoscientists who need to understand and apply geoarchaeological methodologies, and help foster the dialog among diverse researchers investigating archaeological sites.

Practical and Theoretical Geoarchaeology, Second Edition, is an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students in archaeology, and a great practical reference for practicing archaeologists and geoscientists who need to understand and apply geoarchaeological methodologies internationally.


Notă biografică

About the Authors Paul Goldberg is a geologist, Affiliated Professor of Geoarchaeology and Senior Researcher in the Institute of Archaeological Science (INA) at the University of Tübingen, and Visiting Professorial Fellow (Centre for Archaeological Science), University of Wollongong. He has carried out geoarchaeological research extending from Quaternary landscapes and archaeological sites in the Near East, California, and Texas, to cave sediments in China, South Africa, Europe, Russia, Indonesia, and the USA. Richard I. Macphail is a Senior Research Fellow at University College London, investigating archaeological sediments, soils, and occupation deposits across Europe, especially Scandinavia and also provides some worldwide examples. He was a researcher for English Heritage for 20 years, and was Professor Invité at Université de Tours. Chris Carey is a geoarchaeologist and archaeological scientist, and is currently a Principal Lecturer at the University of Brighton, where he is a specialist in remote sensing and mapping. Yijie Zhuang is Associate Professor at Institute of Archaeology, University College London, who has added to numerous studies of Far Eastern sites.
