Remote sensing in Biology: An overview

Remote Sensing in Biology: An Overview explains various aspects of remote sensing in biology describing the benefits and uses of remote sensing in agriculture and forestry. It includes the definition of remote sensing, application of remote sensing in health, introduction of digital technology and its connection with the conservation of nature and remote sensing in ecology. Provides the reader with the insights into development of remote sensing, so as to understand the use and benefits of this technology in conserving the natural resources and ecosystem.

Dr Prerna Pandey, a biotechnologist with several years of wet lab research experience, has worked as a senior research fellow at International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, New Delhi. Her field of research in PhD included isolation and molecular characterization of Geminiviruses, genome sequencing, gene annotation, as well as gene silencing using the RNA interference technology. She has published papers in peer-reviewed journals in the field and has a submitted a number of annotated Geminiviral genome sequences in the GenBank, including two novel ones. Prerna has also completed her editing and proof-reading courses from SfEP, UK and now works as a freelance scientific editor, writer and a subject matter expert. She has edited and co-authored several books on a range of topics in Life-Sciences. When Prerna is not busy with her assignments, she loves visiting historical places.
