South and Southeast Asian countries are experiencing rapid land cover and land use changes (LCLUC) driven by urbanization, agricultural expansion, deforestation, and infrastructure development. These transformations have significant impacts on biodiversity, water resources, food security, and climate regulation. There is an urgent need to quantify LCLUC impacts to design effective management strategies that help understand, mitigate, and adapt to these changes. Remote sensing data plays a crucial role in providing diverse information essential for assessing land use patterns, quantifying changes, and evaluating both environmental and societal impacts. Volume 2 explores the complex and dynamic interactions between land use and the environment in the region. It brings together expertise from U.S. contributors of the NASA-funded Southeast Asia Research Initiative (SARI) and collaborators from South and Southeast Asian countries. Key Features: * Presents case studies on LCLUC impacts related to food security, heat stress, urbanization, agricultural intensification, water scarcity, forest transitions, and ecosystem health. * Demonstrates the use of novel machine learning and deep learning algorithms for quantifying LCLUC impacts. * Explores how satellite remote sensing can reveal hidden patterns, track environmental degradation, and support resource management. * Highlights the integration of very high-resolution data with mid-resolution satellite data for effective LCLUC impact mapping and monitoring. * Adopts a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing the integration of biophysical and socio-economic data to address LCLUC impacts. This book highlights the transformative power of remote sensing and geospatial technologies while calling researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to action. It offers valuable insights for scientists, geographers, ecologists, remote sensing specialists, and anyone interested in the intersection of land use, development, and environmental sustainability.
