Observing the earth from space
Space data - social and political stakes
Cathy Dubois, Michel Avignon, Philippe Escudier
Résumé
This book describes how satellite observation offers unique support in fields such as the management of natural environments, risk prevention and post-disaster management. Beginning with an historical review it then traces how data are constructed from the initial conception of measurements to their interpretation for use in operational systems. Ongoing sociological surveys sketch-out some of the difficulties to be overcome to allow more widespread use of satellite data. With the help of concrete examples such as emergency mapping for disaster management or monitoring of water resources, readers are shown how space-based observation offers potential cognitive resources for living on Earth while taking care of it.
