Remote Sensing and GIS in Peri-Urban Research: Perspectives on Global Change, Sustainability and Resilience, Eleventh Edition provides the most recent methods and techniques, incorporating geoinformatics-based practices to map, evaluate, and model urban landscape attributes and changes. The book provides theory, methodology, and future perspectives of remote sensing and GIS techniques applied to peri-urban modelling, analysis and sustainability through the use of spatio-temporal geospatial datasets. It also includes case studies of real-world data sets, with applicable algorithms, techniques and methods for study.

This will be a useful reference for researchers and academics in remote sensing, GIS, and spatial analysis, and environmental or urban scientists wanting to implement remote sensing technologies in their research.

Sahana, Mehebub: - Prof Mehebub Sahana is currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and Lecturer in GIS in the Department of Geography at The University of Manchester, UK. He is a cultural and environmental geographer with an interest in analysing land-use changes. Conceptually, his work focuses on landscape alterations and consequences on sustainability issues in developing countries. His present research interests include social-environmental interface, socio-ecological resilience and systems thinking; land cover change; rural-urban conversion and the socio-political implications of land-use dynamics. Dr Sahana contributes as a specialist analyst to the Peri-cene project that investigates peri-urbanization and climate risk in city-regions around the world.
