Climate adaptation is a timely yet complex topic that does not fit
squarely into any one disciplinary realm. Geospatial Applications
for Climate Adaptation Planning presents an overview of the range
of strategies, tools, and techniques that must be used to assess
myriad overlapping vulnerabilities and to formulate appropriate
climate-relevant solutions at multiple scales and in varying
contexts. Organized into four sections, the book includes 15
chapters. Each chapter is grounded in the literature and presents
case studies designed by the authors, as well as many examples from
a diverse international group of scholars and entities in the
public and private sectors. Areas covered include: Climate Change
and Climate Adaptation Planning: Context and Concepts Geospatial
Technologies: Fundamentals and Terminology GIS and Climate
Vulnerability Assessments Technical Approaches to Formulating
Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies Geospatial Applications for
Climate Adaptation Planning is aimed at advanced students,
researchers, and entities in the public and private sectors. It
also provides supplementary reading for courses in planning, public
administration, policy studies, and disaster management.
