Abstract
Agriculture is often the first and most vulnerable sector to be affected by drought events. As a rapidly developing technology, remote sensing coupled with Geographic Information Science (GIS) provides great potential for rapid and spatial-explicit agricultural drought monitoring. The research presented in this dissertation is dedicated to promoting agricultural drought monitoring and impact assessment using satellite remote sensing and GIS technology.
