    FAO's Remote Sensing Survey provides novel information on land use change dynamics and deforestation drivers. The survey was conducted as part of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 and in close cooperation with countries. This participatory sample-based exercise produced independent and consistent remote-sensing based estimates on land use change dynamics and their key drivers at global, regional and biome levels.

    The application of remote sensing technology to marine fisheries: an introductory manual 1988
    Also available in:
    The science and technology of remote sensing is introduced in terms of its history, concepts and language, and its application to the exploitation and management of marine fisheries. The physics of electromagnetic radiation is reviewed with reference to atmospheric and target interactions. The variety of sensor platforms and sensor types are described, the latter in the context of either global or sequential acquisition systems. Environmental satellites, their associated sensors and the techniqu es of digital image processing also are reviewed. Direct and indirect applications of remore sensing technology to fisheries are described in general, followed by a series of specific case studies. Recommended reference material, a glossary of terms and acronyms, sources of oceanographic satellite data and a selected list of training institutions conclude this manual.
