This book is for researchers, academics, and professionals with geographic information systems (GIS) experience who need to know more about environmental modeling. It is also intended for environmental modelers who want to know more about GIS, its advantages, and its problems. The first part of the book describes the state of the art in GIS, environmental modeling, spatial statistics, and spatial databases. The second part reviews the state of integration in each of the major "process" areas, ranging from atmospheric to subsurface. Each section includes an overview chapter and case studies. This book will be useful to planners in federal agencies (EPA, DOE, USGS, Parks Service, etc.), academic researchers, environmental consultants, and as a text for advanced GIS courses.
This book investigates the technical and methodological integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with environmental modeling to improve spatial analysis and decision-making. The authors, including experts in spatial information systems and environmental science, provide a comprehensive framework for bridging the gap between GIS technology and complex environmental process modeling. By synthesizing current research and practical applications, the text addresses the challenges of spatial data management and statistical modeling in diverse environmental contexts.
What You Will Find
Experts and academics recognize this work as a foundational text for understanding the intersection of spatial data and environmental simulation. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is tailored specifically for professionals and advanced students already familiar with GIS fundamentals.
