Professors Liang and Ma Publish a New Handbook

The Department of Geography is proud to announce the publication of the Handbook of Satellite Land Products, co-edited by Prof. Shunlin Liang and Prof. Han Ma and published by Elsevier.

This major reference work has several notable features:

1. Unprecedented global collaboration

   The handbook brings together more than 300 contributing experts from over 15 countries.
   

2. Extensive scope and scale

   Spanning 134 chapters, the book provides detailed coverage of approximately 170 high-level satellite land products.
   

3. Bridging the gap between data and application

   Although around 1,200 remote sensing satellites are currently in operation, only a small fraction of satellite data is widely used, as most practical applications rely on high-level products that remain severely lacking. This handbook addresses this critical bottleneck by offering an authoritative and structured guide to existing satellite land products.

The Handbook of Satellite Land Products is now available through Elsevier: https://shop.elsevier.com/books/handbook-of-satellite-land-products/liang/978-0-443-21485-1
