TERRA-1 provides an account of the proceedings of a specialists' conference held at the Royal Geographical Society in August 1989 on land surface remote sensing, its relationship to global environmental research and earth system science, and its role in understanding global climate. The book is a collection of 19 articles from a diverse group of geologists, geographers, hydrologists, meteorologists, soil scientists, terrestrial ecologists, volcanologists, and remote sensing specialists. The articles provide a useful overview in a number of disciplines on how space-based remote sensing is helping address problems associated with monitoring and predicting the global environment and its climate.
