Marine and coastal applications of GIS are finally gaining wide
acceptance in scientific as well as GIS communities, and cover the
fields of deep sea geology, chemistry and biology, and coastal
geology, biology, engineering and resource management. Comprising
rigorous contributions from a group of leading scholars in marine
and coastal GIS, this book will inspire and stimulate continued
research in this important new application domain.
Launched as a project to mark the UN International Year of the
Ocean (1998) and supported by the International Geographical
Union's Commission on Coastal Systems, this book covers progress
and research in the marine and coastal realms, in the areas of
theory, applications and empirical results. It is the first book of
its kind to address basic and applied scientific problems in deep
sea and coastal science using GIS and remote sensing technologies.
It is designed for GIS and remote sensing specialists, but also for
those with an interest in oceans, lakes and shores. Coverage ranges
from seafloor spreading centres to Exclusive Economic Zones to
microscale coastal habitats; and techniques include submersibles,
computer modelling, image display, 3-D temporal data visualization,
and development and application of new algorithms and spatial data
structures. It illustrates the broad usage of GIS, image
processing, and computer modelling in deep sea and coastal
environments, and also addresses important institutional issues
arising out of the use of these technologies.
