Agricultural Applications of Earth Observation

Agricultural Applications of Earth Observation, 1st Edition, examines the integration of satellite remote sensing into agricultural monitoring and land management. Edited by Dr. Peng Fu, Assistant Professor of Digital Agriculture and director of the Ecosystem Sensing and Modeling Lab, this publication details quantitative frameworks designed to measure land surface parameters across field scales.

The content develops several analytical themes focused on satellite data interpretation. Chapters address the retrieval of key agricultural variables using radiative transfer modeling, progressing to observational methods for tracking environmental conditions. Additional coverage includes multi-data fusion techniques for drought monitoring and analytical modeling of carbon sequestration potential in abandoned cropland.

By grounding theoretical models in operational monitoring frameworks, the volume offers specialized technical guidance. It supports postgraduates, academics, and researchers in remote sensing and agricultural sciences who analyze earth observation datasets.
