Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

The extension of border controls beyond a country’s territory to regulate the flows of migrants before they arrive has become a popular and highly controversial policy practice. Today remote control policies are more visible complex and widespread than ever before raising various ethical political and legal issues for the governments promoting them. The book examines the externalization of migration control from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective focusing on ‘remote control’ initiatives in Europe and North America with contributions from the fields of politics sociology law geography anthropology and history. This book uses empirically rich analyses and compelling theoretical insights to trace the evolution of ‘remote control’ initiatives and assesses their impact and policy implications. It also explores competing theoretical models that might explain their emergence and diffusion. Individual chapters tackle some of the most puzzling questions underlying remote control policies such as the reasons why governments adopt these policies and what might be their impact on migrants and other actors involved. | Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

Remote Sensing of Glaciers Techniques for Topographic Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers

Remote Sensing of Glaciers Techniques for Topographic Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers

Glaciers and ice sheets have been melting significantly during recent decades posing environmental threats at local regional and global scales. Changes in glaciers are one of the clearest indicators of alterations in regional climate since they are governed by changes in accumulation (from snowfall) and ablation (by melting of ice). Glacier changes have been measured for the last century by traditional field measurements resulting in long time series for a few glaciers. Remote sensing data and methods and geographic information systems provide the means to allow glacier changes to be monitored at a global scale to be analysed rapidly and to store the results and present information to both scientific and popular audiences in a way which was not possible before the digital revolution. Remote sensing of glaciers began with terrestrial and aerial photography during the middle of the 20th century but today the discipline embraces a large variety of data types from laser scanner data to very high resolution satellite imagery which can be applied to the mapping of glacier changes in terms of area surface zonation or thickness. This book highlights the history of the remote sensing of glaciers the physics of glaciers and remote sensing of them and focuses particularly on modern data and methods used by remote sensing specialists and glaciologists. The book presents examples of glacier research carried out for example in the Alps Norway Iceland Caucasus Patagonia Rocky Mountains Pakistan Antarctica New Zealand and Svalbard. This book is of interest to specialists and students working in the field of remote sensing glaciology physical geography geology and climate change. | Remote Sensing of Glaciers Techniques for Topographic Spatial and Thematic Mapping of Glaciers

Intelligent Infrastructure User-centred Remote Condition Monitoring

Intelligent Infrastructure User-centred Remote Condition Monitoring

With the development of sensor technology wireless communications big data and machine learning there is an increasing interest in technologies and solutions that assess and predict the state of equipment and assets within various industrial settings. These technologies aim to collect information from multiple sources about infrastructure asset status. Then through current and historical data analysis this configuration of technologies delivers intelligence on current and future asset status to a maintenance operator or manager to inform optimal maintenance decision-making. These technologies are known under different terms – remote condition monitoring e-maintenance prognostic systems predictive maintenance and smart or intelligent infrastructure. Despite the promise of remote condition monitoring and predictive technologies there is a growing concern with such technologies because they can be difficult or impractical to use. Understanding and mitigating potential human factors issues could ensure that such vast investments are not wasted. This book considers in depth the challenges placed on users of current and future condition monitoring systems. Its primary focus is to understand the cognitive processes including managing alarms interpreting data and collaborating with automation.

Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Earth's Surface and Atmosphere

This book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the 6 Specialist Meeting on Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Environment held in Florence Italy on March 15-18 1999. Over the last two decades passive microwave remote sensing has made considerable progress and has achieved significant results in the study of the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Many years of observations with ground-based and satellite-borne sensors have made an important contribution to improving our knowledge of many geophysical processes of the Earth's environment and of global changes. The evolution in microwave radiometers aboard satellites has increased steadily over recent years. At the same time many investigations have been carried out both to improve the algorithms for the retrieval of geophysical parameters and to develop new technologies. The book is divided into four main sections: three of these are devoted to the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere and the fourth to future missions and new technologies. The first section deals with the study of sea and land surfaces and reports recent advances in remote sensing of ocean wind sea ice soil moisture and vegetation biomass including electromagnetic modelling and the assimilation of radiometric data in models of land surface processes. The following two sections are devoted to the measurement of atmospheric quantities which are of fundamental importance in climatology and meteorology and since they influence radio-wave propagation they also impact on several other fields including geodesy navigational satellite and radioastronomy. The last section presents an overview of new technologies and plans for future missions. | Microwave Radiometry and Remote Sensing of the Earth's Surface and Atmosphere
