Many of the challenges of the next century will have physical
dimensions, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, and climate change as
well as human dimensions such as economic crises, epidemics, and
emergency responses. With pioneering editors and expert
contributors, Advanced Geoinformation Science explores how certain
technical aspects of geoinformation have been used and could be
used to address such global issues. The editors and chapter authors
have been involved in global initiatives such as Global Earth
Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) and Digital Earth, and
research problems such as air quality, public health, and cloud
computing. The book delineates the problems communities are likely
to face and how advanced geoinformation science can be a part of
their solution. It introduces different methods in collecting
spatial data as the initial feeds to geoinformation science and
computing platforms. It discusses systems for data management, data
integration and analysis, the geoinformation infrastructure, as
well as knowledge capture, formatting, and utilization. The book
then explores a variety of geoinformation applications,
highlighting environmental, agriculture, and urban planning uses.
Geoinformation science encompasses more than just traditional
technologies such as Remote Sensing, GIS, GPS, and supporting
disciplines. And although the science continues to become more
multidisciplinary, the literature remains compartmentalized
according to the traditional disciplinary boundaries. Capturing
recent developments in geoinformation science and linking IT with a
wide range of Earth sciences, the authors explain how advanced
technology and concepts play a significant role in recent
advancements. Enhanced with forty-four color illustrations, live
examples such as GOS and AirNow, and insights from NASA, EPA, and
USGS, the book provides a vision for the future and explores how to
bring that vision into reality.
