Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation

Grab the definitive guide that connects satellite science to real-world climate solutions: Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation by Manuel Campos-Taberner offers a clear, authoritative pathway for understanding how remote sensing measures and models map carbon exchanges across the globe.

This book draws you in with a concise explanation of why accurate carbon flux estimation matters for climate policy, ecosystem management, and regional carbon accounting—from tropical rainforests and temperate woodlands to croplands, wetlands, and urban landscapes. Combining theory with practical examples, it explains how biophysical variables derived from satellite platforms (optical, thermal and radar sensors) are used to infer carbon uptake and release at local, regional and global scales.

Readers will find accessible descriptions of data sources, retrieval strategies, and analytical workflows—useful to researchers, remote sensing professionals, environmental modellers and advanced students. The text emphasizes reproducible approaches, comparison of sensor Books, and interpretation of uncertainties so you can confidently apply Earth observation data to carbon budgeting, model validation, or policy-relevant reporting.

Why this book matters: it bridges technical rigor with real applications, showing how satellite-derived biophysical variables translate into actionable insights for climate science and land management. Whether you work on Amazon basin monitoring, European landscape assessments, or national greenhouse gas inventories, this volume equips you with the context and tools to turn remote sensing into reliable carbon flux information.

For a practical, scientifically robust reference that advances your remote sensing and carbon-cycle expertise, add Carbon Fluxes and Biophysical Variables from Earth Observation by Manuel Campos-Taberner to your library today.
