Arctic Ecological Research from Microwave Satellite Observations, Hardcover by Belchansky, Gennady I., ISBN 0415269652, ISBN-13 9780415269650, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

This reference for researchers of Arctic ecology introduces the range of techniques available for using active (imaging radar) and passive (radiometer) microwave satellite systems for remote sensing investigations. In addition to describing the capabilities of the various relevant satellites, the author examines questions of data processing and analysis, making frequent reference to monitoring studies that have been carried out to classify tundra habitat, explore polar bear migration patterns, or track trends in sea-ice.
