Motivated by innovative technologies,
such as satellite remote sensing and data assimilation which can advance the
water sciences and applications, CEES professor Yang Hong, together with his
former doctoral students, has published a book that presents a collection of
recent innovative hydrology-relevant capacity building research conducted over
emerging regions with inadequate observations. The book particularly addresses
the challenges and opportunities of global water security. It also reviews the
multiple satellite remote sensing observations for water cycles in emerging
regions and over the globe, the application of satellite remote sensing in
hydrological modeling and data assimilation, and the hydrological capacity building
from the NASA Applied Science Program and the HyDROS group at OU over the past
decade. Hong compiled the text from his years of lecture material and his
group’s cumulative scientific research results. The book aims to provide a
hydrological research brochure for governmental officials, researchers, students,
and practitioners in the fields of hydrology, remote sensing, meteorology and
climate science. The book can be
purchased through this link.
