Typhoon Impact and Crisis Management [Paperback]

Major natural hazards have sparked growing public concern worldwide. This book provides new information on Typhoon Impact and Crisis Management using satellite remote sensing technology, linking the natural sciences and social sciences in typhoon studies. It examines remote sensing observations of typhoons (hurricanes), typhoon impacts on the environment, typhoon impacts on marine ecosystems, typhoon impacts and global changes, typhoon (hurricane) impacts on economics, and crisis management for typhoon (hurricane) disasters.This book provides new information on typhoon impacts and crisis management using satellite remote sensing technology. Coverage includes typhoon impacts on the environment, marine ecosystems, and economics.Part I Remote Sensing Observations of Typhoon (Hurricane).- Part II Typhoon (Hurricane) Impacts on Environments.- Part III Typhoon (Hurricane) Impacts on Marine Ecosystem.- Part IV Typhoon (Hurricane) Impacts and Global Changes.- Part V Typhoon (Hurricane) Impacts on Economics.- Part VI Crisis Management for Typhoon (Hurricane) Disaster.
