Mapping, Monitoring, and Modeling Land and Water Resources: Advanced Techniques Using Open Source Software

Editat de Pravat Kumar Shit, Pulakesh Das, Gouri Sankar Bhunia, Dipanwita Dutta
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iun 2021
The wide range of challenges in studying Earth system dynamics due to uncertainties in climate change and complex interference from human activities is creating difficulties in managing land and water resources and ensuring their sustainable use. Mapping, Monitoring, and Modeling Land and Water Resources brings together real-world case studies accurately surveyed and assessed through spatial modeling. The book focuses on the effectiveness of combining remote sensing, geographic information systems, and R. The use of open source software for different spatial modeling cases in various fields, along with the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems, will aid researchers, students, and practitioners to understand better the phenomena and the predictions by future analyses for problem-solving and decision-making.
