Early signs of the global influence of humans are the ozone hole, deforestation and global warming. Responsible strategies are needed to counter undesirable global change and this book provides information guidance on the formulation of environmental policy. Remote sensing from space provides global, repeatable and continuous observations of processes needed to understand the Earth system as a whole. NASA's Earth Observing System is the core of their "Mission to Planet Earth programme. Written from an Earth-systems perspective, this timely publication outlines strategies and methodologies for reaping the maximum benefit from this massive project. Students and researchers in geophysics, astronomy, and astrophysics should find this book useful.
