内容説明・目次

内容説明

The contributors to this volume are experts in a wide variety of fields, such as global monitoring of environmental resources, and modelling of environmental system dynamics and interactions with human activities. The volume is intended to promote further research towards the development of global eco-engineering which is seeking continuous human habitation and improvement of human welfare, based on the sustainable utilization of global environmental resources and preservation of global eco-systems. A variety of disciplines are covered, including remote sensing, geography, meteorology, biology, biochemistry, ecology, marine science, hydrology, agriculture, environmental engineering, urban planning, social science, economy, ethics and philosophy.
