Overview
- Teaches the basic nature of optical and microwave, active and passive, remote sensing (RS) data in a compact unified frame Explains the quantitative information contained in the various types of RS observations of land, water and atmosphere
- Covers the end-to-end path from basic theory to actual Earth observation
- Provides numerous references for visualization, further understanding, and in-depth specialized analysis
- Contains many diagrams and illustrations to facilitate the contact between analytical tools, physical meaning, and reality

Reviews
“The book Understanding Earth Observation - The Electromagnetic Foundation of Remote Sensing is a very comprehensive presentation about earth observation sensor types, techniques and calculations. … presents a complete summary that leads to a comprehensive understanding of the elements and factors involved in using and applying earth observation remote sensing to acquire accurate, reliable and useful data. This text is a good candidate as a reference text due to the comprehensive presentation and up-to-date material and should be considered.” (Jeff Thurston, 3D Visualization World Magazine, 3dvisworld.com, November, 2016)
