ABSTRACT
ОглавлениеWater‐related hazards, including floods, droughts, rainfall‐triggered landslides, water‐scarcity‐induced soil salinization, and other interconnected hazards related to water, have caused considerable loss of human life and damage to property and infrastructure throughout human history. As significant progress has been achieved in satellite technology in recent decades, remote sensing of water‐related hazards has emerged as an effective tool for better monitoring of hazards and reducing our vulnerability to extreme events. This chapter presents an overview of this book, which reviews recent advances and presents new studies in remote sensing of floods, droughts, rainfall‐triggered landslides, and their associated cascading hazards. The main objective is to offer an up‐to‐date perspective on remote sensing of water‐related hazards across disciplines by presenting the work of scientists from different backgrounds.
