TECHNOLOGY REPORTS CENTRE, ORPINGTON, KENT, GB, JAN. 1973,419P. This book presents a stmmmry account of the latest knowledge on the technical aspects of remote sensing of the earth from space as applied to the stilly of earth resources and the environment. Most aspects of the subject are covered including sensors, facilities, sites, data transmission, data handling ard interpretation. The systems covered include: Photographic camera;Vidicon camera; Infra-red systems; Passive microwave; and Microwave radar; 1079 BOL~4A,J Use of physical methods to expand soil survey interpretations of soil drainage conditions. 9F, B6R.

potential site far industry. There was particular interest in delineating sinkholes and zones of subsurface solution activity prior to the deterruination of plant layout and foundation design. Potential problem areas were investigated with borings and the results of the remote-sensor study were compared with the boring profiles to provide a measure of the effectiveness and reliability of the remote sensor study.

Conventional photointerpretatlon techniques such as landform analyses can be usefully supplemented by l~hotometric information extracted from co]our imsgery, For example a reflectance ratio obtained from the red and blue spectral bands of the colour image may be used to delineate relative soil moisture and texture patterns.

The author discusses the value and necessity of the use of computerized solutions to problems of geotechnical engineering. He considers that model making, an essential part of the art of engineering, can be viewed as a systematic sacrifice of accuracy for precision.
