    Book description

    Measurements of natural phenomena are vital for any type of environmental monitoring, from the practical day-to-day management of rivers and agriculture, and weather forecasting, through to longer term assessment of climate change and glacial retreat. This book looks at past, present and future measurement techniques, describing the operation of the instruments used and the quality and accuracy of the data they produce. The book will be important for all those who use or collect such data, whether for pure research or day-to-day management of the environment. It will be useful for students and professionals working in a wide range of environmental science: meteorology, climatology, hydrology, water resources, oceanography, civil engineering, agriculture, forestry, glaciology, ecology.

    Reviews

    ‘Most meteorologists could benefit from this book … It is well written and although aimed at a professional readership it is easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone interested in environmental sciences who needs an overview of environmental instrumentation.’

    ‘The book will be of use to lecturers and supervisors in academe who need to give students a rapid learning curve prior to field experiments and projects. Its style is appealing to those with little prior knowledge.’

    ‘… a useful basic primer for beginners in the field of environmental monitoring, such as a postgraduate student embarking on a research plan.’
