This book constitutes a notable contribution to investigate and
present the capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
and their applicability and usefulness in environmental-related
applications and sciences. The focus is on the design, creation,
development and operation of integrated Web-based GIS applications
for weather, marine and atmospheric environments, and the Earth's
magnetic field. More specifically, the aim of this book is to
present characteristic applications of GIS to environmental
monitoring including GIS solutions for eco-mapping sea and
port-related parameters, climate changes, and geomagnetic field. In
the first part of the book, the description of every application
includes the user requirements, the design and development stages
performed and the presentation of the final outcome, its
capabilities and services. The Web-based applications are developed
through different innovative approaches, such as cloud GIS and
Google Apps for GIS, justifying the merit of WebGIS in the world of
the environmental applications. The second part of the book
provides an overview of geomagnetic field parameters and reveals
the potential of using GIS for modeling and analyzing of the
Earth's magnetic (geomagnetic) field and its parameters. Here, the
authors present the recently introduced phenomenon called
"geomagnetic pseudostorm", which is modeled and further analyzed
here with GIS technology and tools. This book appeals to those
interested in various areas where spatial information becomes of
paramount relevance (e.g. social and economic research and mapping,
environmental and climate research, decision support systems,
public services, and especially for geomagnetic field variations
and for the design of warning systems for natural disasters). It
presents modern methods and approaches to visualize and analyze
spatial information using innovative techniques, procedures, and
tools of WebGIS technology. In this book, the readers find a
valuable companion in their efforts to design and develop their own
WebGIS applications, as it includes useful examples of developing
(Web)GIS applications regarding the monitoring of marine and
atmospheric environments, as well as applications that deal with
meteorological issues and the Earth's magnetic field along with
solar activity (space weather information).This book can also serve
as a useful reference source for graduates, researchers and
professionals related to the areas indicated above.
