‘International Efforts on Global Change Research’ by Beatriz Alonso and Fernando Valladares is a highly informative chapter that discusses the nature of the collaboration that is needed for combating climate change, and it forms the introduction to the present book. This chapter focuses on the causes of global warming and the need to have global responses to such an issue.

Chapter 2, NASA Earth Observation Satellite Missions for Global Change Research, by Emilio Chuvieco and Chris Justice shows how the world of global climate change research has been revolutionized by NASA satellite missions. Besides, the chapter also gives details of the controversies that have arisen on the causes of global warming, bearing in mind the independent feature of remote sensing as a tool to demystify the issues associated with the subject.

That changes in the third chapter, ‘The European Space Agency (ESA)’ by Olivier Arino. This section aims to examine ESA’s engagement in global change observations or climate change trends and the use of remote sensing and GIS to combat global warming.

Chapter four authored by Abel Calle and Jose Luis Casanova entitled: Ozone in the Atmosphere explains the importance of ozone layer observation, its relation to global warming, and general climate change issue. This chapter also reveals a growing problem of elevated temperature in oceans and the impact it has on the surroundings.

The next chapter, Remote Sensing of Land-Cover and Land-Use Dynamicsby Philippe Mayaux and his co-authors describes the prospects of the methodology of using Remote sensing for the monitoring of the changes in coverage and use of the earth’s surface and its place in the framework of global climate change. The authors emphasized the fact, that GIS and remote sensing technology play important roles in mitigating global warming.

The next chapter, Chapter 6 is Satellite Observation of Biomass Burning and has been provided by Emilio Chuvieco. In this section, the author expands on how a range of human-related activities especially biomass burning contribute to global warming, and more importantly, the need for early intervention.

Richard Kelly and Dorothy K Hall, among others, in chapters 7 to 9 take the discussion to satellite observation of oceans, surface waters, terrestrial snow as well as ice. These chapters emphasize the relevance of focusing on these elements in light of global warming and climate change.

Altogether, the present book “Earth Observation of Global Change” remains an important tool in understanding the importance of satellite remote sensing in observing global change in Earth’s environment. As well as opening a view into the technologies and methodologies that pave its way, it also nudges one to recall Karl Keeling’s fact: time is ticking when it comes to climate change, and only innovation and cooperation can help the world fight global warming.
