Learn about scales of measurement used in everything from meteorology to music notation in this comprehensive and informative reference guide. Measurement is constantly all around us. It forms the foundations of science&nbsp;— the ohms and amps of physics and the moles and isotopes of chemistry&nbsp;— and shapes our every day. &nbsp; Our relationships with measurement start the moment we wake and check the day’s temperature and continue until the precise second we go to sleep. But beyond the familiar measurements, hundreds more are listed in this entertaining and revealing reference book. &nbsp; Packed with unusual and fascinating facts ranging from everyday amounts, such as how much salt is there in a pinch (1/8 teaspoon), to key scientific measurements, including the parsec, which is equivalent to 3.26 light-years, or just over 19.26 trillion miles, How to Measure Anything’s entries are accompanied by diagrams, symbols, and illustrations to help demonstrate these concepts and measurements in action. &nbsp; The methods used to measure food, photography, finance, commerce, magnetism, and atomic physics are just a fraction of the areas covered in this essential guide that helps us to better understand how our world works.

Introduction to Remote Sensing and GIS

Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics

A thematic introduction to the modern theory of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics is presented from the viewpoint of granular and porous materials. In the approach taken here, granular and porous media are treated as continuous macroscopic systems of which the overall response is significantly influenced and determined by microstructural effects. In the continuum mechanical modeling, those microscale effects are captured by the introduction of so-called internal variables which account for geometric and material inhomogeneities or the multiphase nature of granular mixtures. Describing the evolution of such internal variables by additional balance laws, the resulting continuum-thermodynamical system requires careful analysis, including, e.g. the application of the entropy principle of Müller with the corresponding approach of exploitation as suggested by Liu. The book is self-contained and addresses an interdisciplinary audience including civil and geotechnical engineers, physicists, applied mathematicians, soil mechanicians and continuum mechanicians.

The fourth edition of this core textbook in advanced remote sensing continues to be the best guide on satellite-based remote sensing tools and methods for space-based Earth observation, and the use of remote sensing satellite data for studying and monitoring the planet. It is thoroughly updated with information related to new satellite missions from different agencies with particular attention to the new constellations of high-resolution sensors and new field observations for model calibration and validation, including field sensors and drones. The commercialization of remote sensing data with open cloud services and new classifications by AI algorithms and cloud computing services are also discussed. New in the Fourth Edition:<ul> <li>Thoroughly revised to include updates in all chapters due to the technological advances in space exploration.</li> <li>Covers new constellations of high-resolution sensors such as Planet, Maxar, Geo-Airbus, etc.</li> <li>Explains field sensors such as spectro-radiometers, ground lidars, and drones.</li> <li>Discusses image services including Earthengine, CreoDIAS, as well as public repositories: Copernicus, Earthexplorer, Glovis.</li> <li>Provides an introduction to AI algorithms.</li> <li>Discusses cloud computing approaches.</li> </ul>This textbook is for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking advanced courses in Remote Sensing and GIS in physical geography, geophysics, engineering, soil and plant sciences, urban planning, etc. It is also an excellent text for researchers and scientists interested in learning techniques and technologies for collecting, analyzing, managing, processing, and visualizing geospatial datasets.

An Environmental Approach

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing

How do you explore distant stars, buried water on Mars or the first moments after the Big Bang - without leaving your back garden? In The Radio Universe, award-winning astrophysicist Emma Chapman takes us on an electrifying voyage through the cosmos using one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, tools in science: the radio wave. With dazzling clarity and humour, Chapman reveals how these invisible messengers glide through space, bounce off planets, tunnel through clouds and slip past galactic dust - carrying secrets of the universe that no other kind of light can uncover. We follow a single radio wave as it escapes Earth and travels outward - ricocheting off the Moon, tunnelling through Venus's furnace-thick atmosphere, tracing ancient ice hidden in Mercury's shadows and diving deep into the swirling arms of the Milky Way. Along the way, we meet black holes that roar louder than stars, pulsars more precise than atomic clocks and galaxies lit by the very first starlight. We explore volcanic pancake planets, death-defying neutron stars, the eerie possibility of alien broadcasts - and the fragile question of our own future in the cosmos. A celebration of human ingenuity and cosmic curiosity, The Radio Universe reveals that the true frontier of space isn't 'out there' - it's humming quietly all around us, waiting to be heard.

Knowledge into Action

Mountain Sheep in North America provides a detailed account of bighorn and thinhorn sheep across their geographic range from Alaska and Canada to Mexico. The book examines all aspects of life histories, including activity patterns; biology; conservation; diet; ecology; genetics; habitat requirements; health and disease; historical perspectives; management approaches; predation; competition with other species; natural history; social behavior; taxonomy; the changing role of agency, Indigenous, and conservation stakeholders; and the considerations for future management actions, opportunities, and conservation risks. The book describes advancements in new technologies supported by current science, disproving some long-held assumptions about the species and their ecology, making it the most comprehensive source of information about mountain sheep in North America today. It offers every reader a better understanding of the management of mountain sheep, and the numerous challenges of a developing world that includes anthropogenic influences, altered habitats, species assemblages, and changing climates. Each chapter is written by internationally recognized experts and practicing mountain sheep managers from agencies and academia. New research is presented within broader shifts in conservation policy and funding, helping readers understand the practical implications of evolving science in real-world situations and offering wisdom that will help them create positive conservation outcomes for mountain sheep.This is an essential text for students of wildlife, early-career and experienced biologists, managers, policy and decision makers, administrators, and anyone interested in mountain sheep in our world today, including those who are simply passionate about them. This book will provide even the most knowledgeable mountain sheep enthusiast with an improved understanding of this magnificent wildlife resource.

Unlocking the Secrets of the Deep Sea

The Dark Frontier

Nature wants to heal, and we can help. We know that when Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance? As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work individually but how whole complex ecosystems work to regulate themselves. When we set the right conditions for nature to thrive, each species helps to support the life of every other species. This means not just planting trees, but taking into account the fascinating role of fungi and soil bacteria, as well as the free movement of wild animals. By revealing how the feedback loops that generate sustainable ecosystems give rise to the stars, planets, and life; economic inequality and privilege; and the way we see the world, Nature's Echo shows how we can do our part so that nature can begin the vital process of healing itself.
