Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The book focuses on the Abbay Basin biophysical setting, the status of natural resources and degradation processes, agricultural practices, environmental resource conservation efforts, and the role of Earth observation and geospatial technologies in monitoring and planning for the wise utilization of natural resources under severe land resource degradation and climate change. It provides a collection of techniques and syntheses from the perspectives of geospatial science and technology application dimensions as well as legal and sociopolitical circumstances. It utilizes comprehensive data, algorithms, methods, and tools to produce and disseminate high-quality information for the Abbay Basin. It also produces empirical data and knowledge on what has been done thus far regarding the application of EO data and geospatial technologies for sustainable utilization of natural resources in the Abbay Basin and synthesizes previous studies to develop strong and consolidated information on the basin. The book will also have distinct outlooks on the purpose and contribution of satellite imagery and geospatial data as well as improved analytics for basin-wide resource management.
