GIS for Environmental Applications provides a practical
introduction to the principles, methods, techniques and tools in
GIS for spatial data management, analysis, modelling and
visualisation, and their applications in environmental problem
solving and decision making. It covers the fundamental concepts,
principles and techniques in spatial data, spatial data management,
spatial analysis and modelling, spatial visualisation, spatial
interpolation, spatial statistics, and remote sensing data
analysis, as well as demonstrates the typical environmental
applications of GIS, including terrain analysis, hydrological
modelling, land use analysis and modelling, ecological modelling,
and ecosystem service valuation. Case studies are used in the text
to contextualise these subjects in the real world, examples and
detailed tutorials are provided in each chapter to show how the GIS
techniques and tools introduced in the chapter can be implemented
using ESRI ArcGIS (a popular GIS software system for environmental
applications) and other third party extensions to ArcGIS to
address. The emphasis is placed on how to apply or implement the
concepts and techniques of GIS through illustrative examples with
step-by-step instructions and numerous annotated screen shots. The
features include: Over 350 figures and tables illustrating how to
apply or implement the concepts and techniques of GIS Learning
objectives along with the end-of-chapter review questions
Authoritative references at the end of each chapter GIS data files
for all examples as well as PowerPoint presentations for each
chapter downloadable from the companion website. GIS for
Environmental Applications weaves theory and practice together,
assimilates the most current GIS knowledge and tools relevant to
environmental research, management and planning, and provides
step-by-step tutorials with practical applications. This volume
will be an indispensable resource for any students taking a module
on GIS for the environment.
