Environmental monitoring can be defined as the ascertainment, observation and surveillance of natural processes or of the human-induced changes taking place in our environment. It generally involves measuring, managing, processing, analysing, modelling, visualising and disseminating environmental data. The ultimate goal of environmental monitoring is to consciously prevent damage to the environment and to support sustainable planning. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
