Our first book, Practical Handbook of Remote Sensing, was published by CRC Press in early November 2015. You can order the book at https://www.crcpress.com/Practical-Handbook-of-Remote-Sensing/Lavender-Lavender/p/book/9781498704335

It offers a complete understanding of the basic scientific principles needed to perform practical remote sensing at home or at work, using a personal computer.

Written by Sam with her 20 years of experience along with Andy’s perspective of a non-expert navigating his way through remote sensing for the first time, it serves as a guidebook for anyone wanting to use this technology without becoming an expert on the subject.

It explains the science behind remote sensing; describing what it is, how it works, and how it can be used in real life applications: urban environments, natural landscape, terrestrial water cycle, and coastal environments.

Using hands-on practical exercises the book shows readers how to find, download, process and visualize freely available satellite remote sensing data, using just a standard personal computer and an internet connection

The book is accompanied by an online resource (www.playingwithrsdata.com) to support those working their way through it.
