Agricultural Applications of Earth Observation details the revolutionary impact of satellite and remote sensing technologies in enhancing agricultural practices.

For the sixth consecutive year, the AGILE conference promoted the publication a book collecting high-level scientific contributions from unpublished fundamental scientific research.

The integration of the 3rd dimension in the production of spatial representation is largely recognized as a valuable approach to comprehend our reality, that is 3D.

The Internet has become the major form of map delivery.

This book gives a general picture of research-driven activities related to location and map-based services.

This book complements the growing body of literature exploring the relationships between arts and cartography .

Realistically representing our three-dimensional world has been the subject of many (philosophical) discussions since ancient times.

This book is comprised of a selection of the best papers presented during the 25th International Cartography Conference which was held in Paris between 3rd and 8th July 2011.

The Workshop Proceedings reflect problems of advanced geo-information science as far as they are specifically concerned with the maritime environment at large.

The joint symposium of ICA commissions is always one of the most important event for cartographers.

The book is a new comprehensive textbook about creating and publishing geoinformation metadata.

During the last decade developments in 3D Geoinformation have made substantial progress.

For the fourth consecutive year, the Association of Geographic Infor- tion Laboratories for Europe (AGILE) promoted the edition of a book with the collection of the scientific papers that were submitted as full-papers to the AGILE annual international conference.

This book is a selection of chapters evolved from papers on completed research submitted to GeoCart'2010 / the 1st ICA Regional Symposium on Cartography for Australasia and Oceania, held in Auckland, New Zealand, 1st -3rd September 2010.

As corroborated by the never-sagging and even increasing interest within the last decade, the intuitive attraction of "e;True 3D"e; in geodata presentation is well worth covering its current status and recent developments in a compendium like the present one.

This book contains papers presented at the first Open Source Geospatial Research Symposium held in Nantes City, France, 8-10 July, 2009.

This book "e;Preservation in Digital Cartography: Archiving Aspects"e; should give an overview on how to preserve digital cartographic appli- tions and geospatial data in a sustainable way.

The region of Central and Eastern Europe has a rich and long history in cart- raphy.

Cartography and geographic information (GI) are remarkably appropriate for the requirements of early warning (EW) and crisis management (CM).

This book presents the latest research developments in geoinformation science, which includes all the sub-disciplines of the subject, such as: geomatic engineering, GIS, remote sensing, digital photogrammetry, digital cartography, etc.

Remote sensing of our environment is becoming increasingly accessible and important in today's society.

In this landmark publication, leading experts detail how remote sensing and related geospatial technologies can be used for coastal ecosystem assessment and management.

The Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe (AGILE) was established in early 1998 to promote academic teaching and research on GIS at the European level.

In recent years 3D geo-information has become an important research area due to the increased complexity of tasks in many geo-scientific applications, such as sustainable urban planning and development, civil engineering, risk and disaster management and environmental monitoring.

In June/July 2008 the Institute for Geoinformation and Cartography at the Vienna University of Technology organized a scientific colloquium in this city, where 15 well-known scientists presented their ideas on research for the upcoming decade.

CEOS was established under the auspices of the Economic Summit of Industrialized Nations in 1984 in response to a recommendation from a panel of experts in remote sensing within the Working Group on Growth, Technology and Employment (CEOS, 2009).

Terrain analysis has been an active study field for years and attracted research studies from geographers, surveyors, engineers and computer scientists.

Natural and anthropogenic disasters have caused a large number of victims and significant social and economic losses in the last few years.

The Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe (AGILE) conferences provide a multidisciplinary forum for an increasingly varied landscape of scientific knowledge production and dissemination, to th GI Scientists from around the world.

1 International Perspectives on Maps and the Internet: An Introduction Michael P.

This book contains selected papers from participants at the 4th National Cartographic Conference GeoCart'2008, held in Auckland, New Zealand in September 2008.

"e;As the world becomes more integrated through the trade of goods and services and capital flows, it has become easier for diseases to spread through states, over borders and across oceans - and to do serious damage to vulnerable human and animal populations.

This book presents a set of papers on Digital Terrain Modelling for Policy Support which aims to be informative and stimulating for both developers and users of digital terrain models.

This book introduces a new paradigm, Geographic Hypermedia, which emerges from the convergence of Geographic Information Science and - permedia technology.

This volume collects 22 papers presented at the 4th International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography, held at Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary, on 28-29 June 2012.

This volume comprehends a selection of papers presented during the 26th International Cartographic Conference held in Dresden from the 26th to the 30th of August 2013.
