The book highlights SERVIR’s approaches to the design and delivery of information services – in agriculture and food security; land cover and land use change, and ecosystems; water resources and hydro-climatic disasters; and weather and climate services. It also touches upon multidisciplinary topics such as service planning; gender integration; user engagement; capacity building; communication; and monitoring, evaluation, and learning. We hope that this book will be a good reference document for professionals and practitioners working in remote sensing, geographic information systems, regional and spatial sciences, climate change, ecosystems, and environmental analysis. Furthermore, we are hopeful that policymakers, academics, and other informed audiences working in sustainable development and evaluation – beyond the wider SERVIR network and well as within it – will greatly benefit from what we share here on our applications, case studies, and documentation across cross-cutting topics. 2021-10-05T14:05:20Z 2021-10-05T14:05:20Z 2021 book ONIX_20211005_9783030735692_10 9783030735692 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/50712 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-73569-2.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030751500 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-73569-2 10.1007/978-3-030-73569-2 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 35ab69d2-b220-458b-acd6-be227c3eeccb 7a596fa9-fe48-4593-8daf-ad5cf41b9b08 9783030735692 Springer 375 [grantnumber unknown] [grantnumber unknown] United States Agency for International Development U.S. Agency for International Development open access
