Satellite Remote Sensing in the Service of Regional and Local Authorities

Success stories of effective applications that use operational satellite products for the purpose of regional and sub-regional governance have been collected and summarized in the brochure "25 Uses of GMES in the NEREUS Regions", published by the EO/GMES Working Group of the NEREUS European Network. It focuses on active demonstrations and operational uses of the space capabilities of GMES across a widening spectrum of regional uses. This special issue of the European Journal of Remote Sensing is addressing similar concerns but much more from an in-depth scientific perspective with a selection of extended scientific papers, which describe current best practice of operational and near operational use of Remote Sensing in civil applications at regional and local scale. - See more at: http://www.aitjournal.com/articleView.aspx?ID=566#sthash.RmoLj1AL.dpuf
