Notă biografică

Bai Tian is an interdisciplinary expert of Geographic Information System (GIS), geology, environmental, and natural resource sciences, with 30 years of working and managing experience in these disciplines. In the past 18 years, he has been managing GIS departments which were involved in hundreds of environmental and geological projects, with thousands of project sites across the United States, its territories (Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Saipan, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands), and other countries, such as Iraq, Libya, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda, Haiti, etc. He is one of the early pioneers who introduced GIS technology into geological and environmental fields. Since early 1990s, he has written many papers for numerous conferences and scientific journals

Recenzii

"This book was well written by an outstanding interdisciplinary expert with a long and successful career. It uses many case studies to explain how spatial technologies can be utilized to understand and solve problems in a variety of scientific fields. Different from other books, the case studies in this book were selected from the impressively large number of real-world projects the author worked worldwide, e.g. the demolition of the chemical weapons in Libya, reported by The New York Times. It is an excellent reference book suitable for a wide range of readers who are interested in GIS, environmental science, geology, resource management, civil engineering, planning, and many more. Besides its rich contents in technologies, this book is also inspiring spiritually, especially for students and young professionals."
