Constructive Processing of Microwave and Optical Data for Hydrogeochemical Applications

This book presents results of the combined use of microwave remote sensing, optical tools, and ecoinformatics methods under solution-applied tasks at both regional and global scales. Ecoinformatics methods are used to assess links between global climate change on the level of ocean pollution, with specific focus in the Arctic Ocean, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the South-China Sea. Theoretical and applied aspects of instrumental tools are considered in this book as a base for the monitoring of water quality in different aquatic regions, with special attention paid to microwave remote sensing monitoring data to determine the ecotoxicological status of hydro-ecosystems impacted by climate change. The book develops new informational technologies that provide solutions for hydrochemical tasks using algorithms and models based on computer technologies for big data processing. The study will help to synthesize effective computer-based systems for the solution of problems arising due to anthropogenic impacts on hydrological processes and objects at various spatial scales. This book is intended for specialists in the fields of environmental monitoring, climate change, human-nature interactions, and geopolitics. The book will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying these fields of science as well.
