The explosion of public interest in the natural environment can, to
a large extent, be attributed to greater public awareness of the
impacts of global warming and climate change. This has led to
increased research interest and funding directed at studies of
issues affecting sensitive, natural environments. Not surprisingly,
much of this work has required the innovative application of GIS
and has led to a crucial research question: How should the
environment be represented, modeled, analyzed, and visualized
within a GIS? With contributions from recognized international
experts, Representing, Modeling, and Visualizing the Natural
Environment explores the interplay between data representation,
modeling, and visualization in environmental studies. It reviews
state-of-the-art GIS applications for the natural environment and
presents them in the context of a range of recent studies. This
focus identifies analytical challenges and illustrates broader
opportunities for applying GIS within other areas of the sciences
and social sciences. The integrated approach reflects the need for
a single volume covering all aspects While many texts cover aspects
of GIS application within an environmental context, few of these
books focus specifically on the natural environment nor do they
integrate the questions that encompass the full process of enquiry
associated with GIS application in studies of the environment. The
thirteenth volume in the widely recognized Innovations of GIS
series, this book investigates each of these questions in turn,
explicitly addressing all aspects of GIS application in the natural
environment.
