GIS for Science presents a collection of real-world stories about
modern science and a cadre of scientists who use mapping and
spatial analytics to expand their understanding of the world. The
accounts in this book are written for a broad audience including
professional scientists, the swelling ranks of citizen scientists,
and people generally interested in science and geography.
Scientific data are brought to life with GIS technology to study a
range of issues relevant to the functioning of planet Earth in a
natural sense as well as the impacts of human activity. In a race
against the clock, the scientists profiled in this volume are using
remote sensing, web maps, Esri StoryMaps, and spatial analysis to
document an array of issues with a geographic dimension that range
from climate change, natural disasters, and loss of biodiversity,
to political strife, polar ice loss, and resource shortages. These
stories present GIS ideas and inspiration that users can apply
across many disciplines, making this volume relevant to diverse
scientific audience. See how scientists working on the world's most
pressing problems apply geographic information systems-GIS.
