This book offers a new framework that facilitates the development
of more intelligent systems and methods for data analysis and
international information sharing, such as the use of satellite
imaging and geospatial data to predict changes in weather
conditions and shifts in water levels, and to assess the extent of
the forest cover remaining on Earth that is visible from space. It
brings together the many aspects of science and technology, as well
as formula and analytical approaches required for more informed
decision-making. It also highlights the vital importance of
understanding the technological, economic and social dimensions of
environmental projects that have short-term results and long-term
impacts. It is unique in that it clearly distinguishes between
environmental project management (EnvPM) and green project
management (GreenPM), and presents an amalgamation of environmental
management and project management concepts, using geospatial
methods to form an EnvPM concept. The book sets a benchmark for the
professionalism with which environmental projects should be
planned, executed, monitored, assessed and delivered. While
primarily intended for professionals responsible for the management
of environmental projects or interested in improving the overall
efficiency of such projects, it is also a useful handbook for
managers in the private, public and non-for-profit sectors. It is a
valuable resource for students at both undergraduate and master's
levels and an indispensable guide for anyone wanting to develop
their skills in modern project management, environmental management
and geospatial techniques. ``We are the first generation to feel
the impact of climate change, and the last generation that can do
something about it.'' US President Obama's address to the United
Nations on Climate Change and Global warming (2015) hison: This
book provides an in-depth, well-researched and science-based
approach to applying key project-management and spatial tools and
practices in environmental projects. An important read for leaders
considering projects that balance social-economic growth against
minimising its ill-effects on Planet Earth. - Todd Hutchison,
Global Chairman of Peopleistic group.
