GNSS Applications to Monitor Natural Hazards presents step-by-step Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) methodologies that support reproducible research and practical implementation in hazard monitoring and mitigation. It explains the applications, benefits, and technical approaches for using GNSS observations to detect hazard-related processes, strengthen scientific understanding, and contribute to early-warning capabilities for catastrophic events.

Written for researchers, professionals, and educators working with GNSS technologies, the book also provides an accessible foundation for those seeking to apply GNSS methods to the study and management of natural hazards.

Covers a wide variety of techniques with numerous illustrative examples to link GNSS applications to real situations
Provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedures enhancing understanding of complex methodologies
Delivers simplified theoretical concepts to enable non-GNSS experts to understand

Joseph Awange is a professor of Environmental Geoinformatics at the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University) having previously worked at Curtin University (Australia). His research interests are sensing of environmental changes employing geospatial and AI techniques, hydroclimate, climate variability/change, climate extremes and mathematical geosciences (algebraic & numerical solutions). He obtained his BSc and MSc degrees in Surveying (University of Nairobi, Kenya). Joseph was awarded a merit scholarship by the German Academic Exchange Program (DAAD), which facilitated his obtaining a second MSc degree and PhD in Geodesy at Stuttgart University (Germany) under the supervision of the late Prof Erik W. Grafarend (one of the world’s renown geodesists). In 2002-2004, he was awarded the prestigious Japan Society of Promotion of Science (JSPS; Japan) Fellowship to pursue postdoctoral research in Environmental Geodesy at Kyoto University. His research output has been globally recognized through prestigious Awards (i) Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Fellowships (2008-2011 Ludwig Leichhardt Memorial Fellowship for experienced researchers, 2015 & 2019 AvH support in acknowledgment of his scientific achievements in his specific academic field and in recognition of his contribution towards scientific cooperation with German colleagues), (ii) 2015 JSPS Fellowship, and (iii), Brazil Frontier of Science (Brazil). Joseph who holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) from Murdoch University (Australia) is currently serving as the Acquisition Manager for Springer Nature (world-leading research, educational and professional publisher) in charge of Earth Sciences, Geography, and Environment books. He attained International Editorial role in Springer Earth Science Books and has authored more than 25 scholarly books with the prestigious Springer publisher and more than 250 peer-reviewed high-impact journal publications
