Remote Sensing Techniques for Blue Carbon and Coastal Ecosystem Monitoring offers a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge remote sensing technologies for the effective monitoring and conservation of blue carbon ecosystems, including mangroves and seagrass beds. In the face of increasing threats from emerging contaminants such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, and pollutants, this book highlights the vital role these ecosystems play in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Combining satellite imagery, UAV-based sensing, hyperspectral techniques, and ecological models with GIS integration, it provides both theoretical insights and practical case studies from around the world. Essential for students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, this guide equips readers with the tools necessary to assess ecosystem health, inform management strategies, and support sustainable coastal development in a rapidly changing environment.
