GIS Environmental Modelling and Engineering de Allan Brimicombe

GIS Environmental Modelling and Engineering

Autor Allan Brimicombe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2003
The significance of modeling in managing the environment is well recognized from scientific and engineering perspectives as well as in the political arena. Environmental concerns and issues of sustainability have permeated both public and private sectors, particularly the need to predict, assess and mitigate against adverse impacts that arise from continuing development and use of resources.

Students need to be made aware of these issues. Practitioners should enrich their knowledge and skills in these areas. This book focuses on the modeling, rather than on data collection or visualization.

Cuprins

GIS, Environmental Modeling and Engineering focuses on the modeling, rather than on data collection or visualization and aims to develop critical users of both GIS and environmental models. It discusses a number of issues such as: the need for environmental models to consider space-time processes often in three-dimensions; the degree of integration between GIS and environmental models on any project; uncertainty in spatial data from GIS and the choices of parameterization that combine and propagate through analyses to affect outputs; the means decisions can be made with uncertain information. This book should enrich the knowledge and skills for students and practitioners.
