Remote Sensing and Other Space-Based Applications for Monitoring and Understanding Abrupt Climate Change
نویسندگان
چکیده
Climate has undergone both gradual and rapid changes, occurring in the timeframe of decades to millennia. Paleoclimatic research has made links between past abrupt climate change (ACC) events and major changes in North Atlantic thermohaline circulation. Since this ocean circulation system plays a key role in driving climate, remote sensing and space-based applications for studying ACC events in the North Atlantic region is the focus of this study. This paper describes the nature of ACC events, reviews the applications of Earth observation technology for monitoring and modeling ACC, and provides recommendations for an integrated system for monitoring ocean circulation parameters.

Land Cover Subpixel Change Detection using Hyperspectral Images Based on Spectral Unmixing and Post-processing
The earth is continually being influenced by some actions such as flood, tornado and human artificial activities. This process causes the changes in land cover type. Thus, for optimal management of the use of resources, it is necessary to be aware of these changes. Today’s remote sensing plays key role in geology and environmental monitoring by its high resolution, wide covering and low cost...

Collecting information on suspended sediments concentration (SSC) in coastal waters and estuaries is vital for proper management of coastal environments. Traditionally, SSC used to be measured by time consuming and costly point measurements. This method allows the accurate measurement of SSC only for a point in space and time. Remote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to...
