The drastic effects of climate change on polar environments bring to the fore the often subtle links between climate change and processes in the hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere, while unanswered questions of the polar regions will help plan and formulate future research projects. Sample topics covered in the work include: Terrestrial net primary production of the Arctic and modeling of Arctic landform evolutionGlaciers and glacial environments, including a geological, geophysical, and geospatial survey of Himalayan glaciersSea ice dynamics in the Antarctic region under a changing climate, the Quaternary geology and geomorphology of AntarcticaContinuous satellite missions, data availability, and the nature of future satellite missions, including scientific data sharing policies in different countriesSoftware, tools, models, and remote sensing technology for investigating polar and other environments For postgraduates and researchers working in remote sensing, photogrammetry, and landscape evolution modeling, Advances in Remote Sensing Technology and the Three Poles is a crucial resource for understanding current technological capabilities in the field along with the latest scientific research that has been conducted in polar areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Editors xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors xx\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xxv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xxvi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Acronyms xxviii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I Earth Observation (EO) and Remote Sensing (RS) Applications in Polar Studies 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 The Three Poles: Advances in Remote Sensing in Relation to Spheres of the Planet Earth 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eManish Pandey, Prem C.
