With recent floods around the world becoming ever more devastating, there is a need for better science enabling more effective solutions at a fast pace. This book aims at stretching from the current flood mapping to diverse real data so as to estimate the flood risk and damage. It discusses in length the usage of multi-sensor satellite data, web-services information, microwave remote sensing methods for flood mapping and monitoring. Organized into three parts that each address a separate but complementary topic area under floods, each chapter unfolds various applications, case studies, and illustrative graphics.
