The first edition of the book was dedicated to the first environmentalist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize honour, Prof. Wangari Maathai of Kenya (pictured above). The Nobel peace laureate led a sustained campaign for environmental conservation with her Green Belt Movement planting more than 40 million trees across Africa. This second edition of the book is dedicated to my past, present and future students of Satellite and Space Geodesy at Curtin University (Australia) as well as all Environmental students globally.
