Notă biografică
Dr. George P. Petropoulos is an Associate Professor in Remote Sensing & GIS in the Department of Geography & Earth Sciences (DGES) at Aberystwyth University in Wales, UK. He completed his graduate studies (MSc, PhD) at the University of London. Dr. Petropoulos’ research focuses on exploiting EO data alone or synergistically with land surface process models for computing key state variables of the Earth's energy and water budget, including energy fluxes and soil surface moisture. He is also conducting research on the application of remote sensing technology to land cover mapping and its changes occurred from either anthropogenic activities or geohazards (mainly floods, wildfires, frost). Dr. Petropoulos serves as a Council member and Trustee of the Remote Sensing & Photogrammetric Society (RSPSoC), he is Associate Editor and Editorial Board Member on several international peer-reviewed scientific journals in EO and environmental modelling. He has also convened the organisation of several scientific specialised sessions at international conferences. He is Editor/co-editor of 3 other books and co-author +55 peer-reviewed journal articles. He has developed fruitful collaborations with key scientists in his area of specialisation globally, and his research work so far has received international recognition via several noteworthy awards he has obtained.
Tanvir Islam is with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and specializes in remote sensing observations. Presently, he is engaged with the development of advanced microwave calibration and retrieval algorithms for NASA’s Earth observing missions. Prior to joining NASA/JPL in 2015, he was with the NOAA/ NESDIS/STAR and worked on the development of satellite remote sensing algorithms, with an emphasis on microwave variational inversion techniques (2013–2015). He also held visiting scientist positions at the University of Tokyo, Japan as part of the NASA/ JAXA precipitation measurement missions (PMM) algorithm development team, in 2012 and at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 2015. He earned his PhD in remote sensing at the University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom in 2012.

Recenzii
"Remote Sensing of Hydrometeorological Hazards contains comprehensive reviews and case studies of the application of remote sensing for hazards assessment, including drought, frost and ice, wildfire, floods, hurricanes, and landslides. As a thorough review of the state-of-the-art in a wide range of applications, written by respected experts in the field, the book will be a useful reference for individuals involved with both research and application."
— Trent Biggs, San Diego State University, California, USA
"This book addresses all of the major hazardous events that can significantly affect human lives, the natural resources we depend upon, and the way we grow our food. The newly developed methods described here, employing the recent advances of technology and availability of Earth Observation data, provide information of higher quality and quantity, usable by the authorities as well as individuals. It is a much-needed review of Earth Observation methods and possibilities, recording the current level of remote sensing services available and a great asset for new scientists."
—Chariton Kalaitzidis, Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania, Crete, Greece
"… a great contribution to the field remote sensing and hydrometeorological hazards. In my opinion, reading this very interesting book, which has six sections covering both theory and novel applications of remote sensing and GIS, is a must for everyone in the field of geosciences. What makes this book very interesting and special is that it represents decades of research conducted by leading scientists in the field. This book provides readers an all-inclusive critical overview about Remote Sensing of Drought, Frost and Sea Ice Hazards, Wildfires, Flood, Hurricanes and Landslides. I recommend this highly respected book for students, researchers, lecturers, decision makers and practitioners who would like to learn and update effectively their knowledge from top scientists."
