Description

Geographic Information Systems: Case Studies in Environmental Monitoring provides detailed remote sensing and GIS methods, algorithms and technology comparisons focusing on a wide range of environmental applications. The geoinformation technologies are demonstrated through templated case studies detailing real world use of the techniques and clarifying methods, tools and practical solutions to environmental mapping and monitoring. The book utilizes remote sensing and geospatial data from the most recently launched satellites,and applies the latest geospatial data approaches and analysis software tools (both commercial and open source).Geographic Information Systems: Case Studies in Environmental Monitoring is a comprehensive reference for researchers, academics and technicians in the fields of geospatial science & technology, remote sensing, and environmental science; or those processing and analyzing geospatial data for monitoring and modelling.- Focuses on global, templated case studies of GIS applications to environmental monitoring- Includes methodologies allowing readers to recreate techniques and models and workflows that can be used in their own work- Covers a plethora of topics in applied geosciences, providing environmental and geographical applications of practical interest
