Introduction to the Issue on Earth Observations and Renewable Energy. Foreword
Résumé
The eight papers in this inaugural issue focus on earth observations and renewable energy. In focusing on Renewable Energy and Earth Observations for this inaugural issue of the new IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED TOPICS IN APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATIONS AND REMOTE SENSING (J-STARS), we are enhancing the new vision brought by remotely sensed technology applied to our understanding of the Earth. An awareness of the various impacts that Energy has on climate change will lead to a modification in our behavior. This will be one of the most important of a range of responses to the impact of climate change on society. Hence, through this special issue, our objective is to propose new ways of dealing with energy and, particularly, renewable energy by taking advantage of all the advantages that Earth observations and remote sensing provide.
