This volume offers a broad overview of the science and  technology of remote sensing, its policy implications, and the needs  of operational users in the context of climate change and  environmental degradation over land. The various chapters derive from  presentations originally made at the first ENAMORS conference on  Optical Remote Sensing of Terrestrial Surfaces: New Sensors, Advanced  Algorithms, and the Opportunity for Novel Applications, held in  Tuusula, Finland, in September 1997. This meeting assembled a  distinguished panel of scientists, engineers, users, and policy  makers, and provided a forum to debate scientific priorities,  technological opportunities, and information requirements. Policy  makers strive to take full advantage of investments in Earth  Observation, scientists develop new and better algorithms to deliver  more accurate characterizations of the environment, or propose  innovative applications, while Space Agencies design observational  systems better adapted to meet the requirements of a broad spectrum of  scientific missions.
