An overview of increasingly indispensable radiometric technologiesMicrowave radiometers have become a central part of Earth observation and radioastronomy. Most existing reference works on the subject, however, largely omit two key types of radiometers: interferometric radiometers and polarimetric radiometers. The extensive applications of these two classes of radiometer and their potential for mapping distant celestial bodies and enhancing Earth observation has made it critical for the next generation of radiometric scientists and engineers to be familiar with this technology and its principles.Principles of Interferometric and Polarimetric Radiometry meets this crucial need with a first-in-class overview of this key subject. Beginning with an introduction to the foundational concepts of microwave radiometry, it proceeds to work through a careful revision of the fields major theory and techniques, with a particular emphasis on interferometric and polarimetric systems. The result promises to revolutionize the use of microwave passive sensors for Earth observation and beyond.

Being construction one of the sectors in which more is invested and that, according to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), contributes 13% of GDP worldwide, curiously it is also one of the activities that shows lower rates of productivity in the last 25 years according to a study prepared by the McKinsey Global Institute (2017).In different stages of construction, drones and aerial photogrammetry have been implemented as a working tool to achieve higher levels of productivity in field information gathering processes in a faster, more accurate and economical way, in some cases.The purpose of the project developed in this book is to elaborate a 3D digital point cloud model of the Campus of the University of Sonora, Central Regional Unit, and compare it with one elaborated before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the objective of determining if by means of these images it is possible to identify if there were or not affectations to the university infrastructure during that lapse.

La observación y el contacto directo con la realidad, según Jesús Fernández, son el mejor modo de contrastar los modelos teóricos y comprobar si casan con aquella. Con este principio abordó el estudio de amplios espacios geograficos que, en definitiva, nutrieron el libro Geomorfologia estructural (2006). En su conjunto, el libro esta repleto de aportaciones ineditas sobre el relieve de amplios sectores de las cordilleras Cantabrica, Iberica y Betica. Sin embargo, la verdadera innovacion no se limita al dar a conocer hechos particulares, sino en elevarlos a la categoria de conceptos generales en la concepcion de teorias sobre la formacion del relieve. El trabajo constituye un exhaustivo y pormenorizado analisis de cada uno de los elementos que componen el relieve de cada espacio geografico se convierte en la herramienta fundamental: el estudio de cada espacio geografico se ha basado, por asi decirlo, en hechos reales, en la observacion.
