The monograph "Geoinformation Systems Technologies and Principles of Applying Remote Sensing Data in Environmental Research" has been published. It was written by PhD Natavan Jafarova, a leading researcher at the H. Aliyev Institute of Geography, ARMSE, and PhD in Geography Khasiyat Ismetova,.
The scientific editor of the book is Acting General Director of the Institute of Geography, PhD in Geography, Associate Professor Zaur Imrani.
The authors dedicated this work to the memory of their father and husband, the former director of the Institute of Geography, renowned oceanographer, academician, State Prize laureate, and holder of the Shokhrat Order, Ramiz Mamedov.
This 400-page, nine-chapter book presents the results of the authors' research under the supervision of Academician R.M. Mamedov. It describes methods for creating hybrid information-analytical systems for studying the Earth's surface using aerospace tools and data, as well as integrating these data with ground-based measurements and geoinformation technologies for spatial data processing.
The book examines: theoretical and methodological foundations of the application of geoinformation technologies and Earth remote sensing materials in environmental research, rational use of natural resources and socio-economic mapping;
Physical principles and technical means of obtaining aerospace images;
Modern aerospace imagery collections and the possibilities of their integration with geographic information systems, as well as ways of using these capabilities in the management, rational use of natural resources, and environmental protection;
Methods for interpreting aerospace images for mapping, efficient use of natural resources, environmental protection, and socioeconomic mapping; methods for integrating remote sensing data into modern geoinformation technologies and developing analytical skills for various applications.
This monograph, intended for specialists working in the field of remote sensing of the Earth and geoinformation technologies, promotes understanding and development of the application of these technologies for the use of natural resources and the solution of socio-economic and environmental problems at the global, regional and local levels.
