Integrating Scale in Remote Sensing and GIS

Integrating Scale in Remote Sensing and GIS serves as the most comprehensive documentation of the scientific and methodological advances that have taken place in integrating scale and remote sensing. It demonstrates new developments in the concept of scale within the purview of the "science of scale" for multispatial, multitemporal, and multispectral data. Divided into four thematic groups: scale issues and multiple scaling; physical scale as applied to natural resources; urban scale; and human health/social scale, this book is a vital resource to researchers, instructors, and students alike, seriously involved in the field of GIScience.
