While remote sensing gives a surface depiction of the world, its
recent convergence with GIS enables richer depictions that can be
used to simulate physical processes, identify trends, and make more
accurate predictions. GeoDynamics is based on specialized lectures
from an international field of experts, addressing remote sensing,
spatially distributed modeling of land surface processes, and urban
dynamics as part of the GeoComputation conference. It focuses on
this symbiotic relationship in a detailed discussion of both remote
sensing and spatially distributed dynamic modeling. The book
analyzes recent developments in assembling geographical information
such as: the ubiquitous deployment of portable measurement devices
enabled with global positioning technology and its impact on the
field; the management, benefits, and challenges of modeling dynamic
processes in three dimensions; the implications of temporal
granularity of simulations to predictions; and the appropriate
representation of human factors in GIS. It illustrates the
importance of incorporating interdisciplinary sciences to hone GIS
capabilities, the advantage of sharing data and representations,
and effective communication through visualization. This book
establishes how these integrated technologies have become a central
part of building spatial representations. GeoDynamics is a lasting
record of this groundbreaking conference and a valuable
contribution to the growing literature on GeoDynamics for academics
and practitioners alike.
