    Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are a cornerstone of modern geodetic positioning, but their true potential extends far beyond traditional applications. GNSS Applications to Monitor Natural Hazards presents a systematic, step-by-step methodology for leveraging satellite-based positioning to detect, analyze, and mitigate environmental threats—from floods and droughts to seismic shifts and landslides. As climate change intensifies natural hazards, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering researchers, engineers, and policymakers reproducible techniques to enhance early-warning systems. For the first time, it also explores AI-enhanced GNSS, demonstrating how machine learning can unlock real-time hazard prediction and adaptive monitoring. Designed for both experts and newcomers, this work translates cutting-edge research into actionable strategies, empowering readers to harness GNSS technology for a more resilient future. Whether optimizing disaster response or decoding subtle environmental changes, this book is an essential guide to reducing the impact of catastrophic events through innovation.

    • publicationLanguages:en
    Quantitative Methods in Stratigraphy: A Multi-Proxy Palaeoenvironmental Analysis of Outcrop and Core Data explores the current advances in technology, offering a wide range of quantitative geophysical, geochemical, and spectral methods, which are less expensive, timesaving, and often non-destructive. The book first outlines the main principles and applications of stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analysis. Chapters then work methodically through quantitative data in stratigraphy, gamma-ray methods, magnetic susceptibility and magnetometry, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Near infrared (NIR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as well as energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy are reviewed in- depth.With the wide range of now affordable quantitative methods, high-resolution sampling, and large datasets available across strata, outcrop research can offer unprecedented potential for outcrop-to-core-to-w... log correlation, and subsequent (paleo)environmental analysis while keeping data reproducibility at a high level.This book serves as a useful reference guide for geoscientists, academicians, and researchers, helping them keep pace with advances in technology and instrumentation and conduct state-of-the-art research in geosciences.
