Excellent- More about Geohazards and Risks Studied from Earth Observations
The Sentinel missions of the COPERNICUS Programme and other Earth Observation missions provide new opportunities for systematic monitoring of natural and man-made hazards and disasters. This book discusses how space observations can improve our understanding of the driving mechanisms and mutual interactions of geohazards, with a focus on the added-value information obtained by combining different types of observations and model results.

The Sentinel missions of the COPERNICUS Programme of the European Union, along with other Earth Observation missions, present remarkable opportunities for the systematic monitoring of natural and man-made hazards and disasters that have the potential to profoundly impact human societies. The contributions compiled in this book encompass a diverse range of geohazards observable from space, including earthquakes, volcanic hazards, extreme events such as storm surges, floods, and droughts, fires, pollution, tipping points in physical and biological systems, and more. By providing information on how space observations can enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that give rise to these geohazards and their intricate interactions, this book aims to shed light on the expected value added by combining various types of space-based and in situ observations, as well as model results.
The chapters titled "Space-Based Earth Observations for Disaster Risk Management," "Earth Observation for the Assessment of Earthquake Hazard, Risk, and Disaster Management," "Earth Observation for Crustal Tectonics and Earthquake Hazards," "Earth Observations for Monitoring Marine Coastal Hazards and Their Drivers," and "Air Pollution and Sea Pollution Seen from Space" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via the link: springer.com. These chapters were previously published in Surveys in Geophysics, Volume 41, Issue 6, 2020.
