Dr. Shunlin Liang

Professor Shunlin Liang published the book Advanced Remote Sensing: Terrestrial Information Extraction and Applications, Second Edition, a thoroughly updated application-based reference that presents state-of-the-art techniques for estimating land surface variables from a variety of data types, including optical sensors, RADAR and LIDAR. 

Key Features:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of many practical methods and algorithms
  • Offers descriptions of the principles and procedures of the state-of-the-art in remote sensing
  • Includes real-world case studies and end-of-chapter exercises
  • Contains thoroughly revised chapters, newly developed applications and updated examples

The Table of Contents and other details are available at Science Direct.  

Dr. Liang is a professor at the Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland. He published over 360 SCI indexed journal papers and the following books: “Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces” (Wiley, 2004),  “Advances in Land Remote Sensing: System, Modeling, Inversion and Application” (Springer, 2008),  “Advanced Remote Sensing: Terrestrial Information Extraction and Applications”  (first edition)(Academic Press, 2012), “Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) Products: Algorithms, Validation and Analysis”(Springer, 2013), “Land Surface Observation, Modeling, Data Assimilation” (World Scientific, 2013), and “Earth’s Energy Budget” (Elsevier, 2017). He was the Editor-in-Chief of the 9-volume books “Comprehensive Remote Sensing” (Elsevier, 2017). He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transaction on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, is currently an Editor-in-Chief of Science of Remote Sensing.
