**3. Conclusions**

The contributions reported in this special issue are based on research on remote sensing techniques and its applications to better monitor and understand the changes the oceans, soils, and cryosphere are undergoing on a warming planet. These are the topics on which the BEC team has been working for the last ten years, and they also drive the future lines of research on which the BEC's strategic plan is based. This book is a tribute to the efforts made by all the people that have contributed to building up the BEC and also aims to be an inspiration for the work to be done in the future at the BEC.
