<div><p>First developed in the 1880s as a way to monitor glaciers in Europe, repeat photography —the practice of taking photographs at different points in times from the same physical vantage point—remains an essential and cost-effective technique for scientists and researchers working to track and study landscape change.</P> <p> </P> <p>This volume explores the technical and geographic scope of this important technique, focusing particularly on the intertwined influences of climatic variation and land-use practices in sculpting landscapes. Contributors offer a broad-perspective review of the state-of-the-art of repeat photography, with twenty-three chapters written by researchers around the globe who have made use of repeat photography in their work. Topics addressed include</P> <UL> <LI> <div>the history of repeat photography</DIV> <LI> <div>techniques for creating and analyzing repeat photographs</DIV> <LI> <div>applications in the geosciences</DIV> <LI> <div>applications in population ecology</DIV> <LI> <div>applications in ecosystem change</DIV> <LI> <div>cultural applications</DIV></LI></UL> <p><I>Repeat Photography</I> demonstrates the wide range of potential applications, examines new techniques for acquiring data from repeat photography, and clearly shows that repeat photography remains a valuable and efficient means of monitoring change in both developed and developing regions. Over one hundred sets of photographs, including thirty-two pages of color photos, serve as examples.</P> <p> </P> <p>Recent concerns about climate change and its effects on natural landscapes, combined with ongoing concerns about land-use practices, make this state-of-the-art review a timely contribution to the literature.</P></DIV>
