With spatial technologies ranging from mapping software to the use of location-based services, spatial knowledge is often acquired and communicated through geographic information technologies.
Geographic information systems (GIS) is a rapidly advancing field that has become thoroughly integrated into our society and inseparable from our daily lives.
Image fusion in remote sensing or pansharpening involves fusing spatial (panchromatic) and spectral (multispectral) images that are captured by different sensors on satellites.
Land Surface Remote Sensing: Environment and Risks explores the use of remote sensing in applications concerning the environment, including desertification and monitoring deforestation and forest fires.
The third edition of the bestselling Classification Methods for Remotely Sensed Data covers current state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and developments in the analysis of remotely sensed data.
This book follows Tony Allan's journey through the maze of water management and global awareness of the risks of mismanagement, tracing the trajectory of the hydraulic mission from a time of infinite possibilities-fiat panis and piped water-to risk aversion, loss of confidence and political will, and post-water societies.
Now in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this widely adopted text and practical reference addresses all aspects of developing and using geographic information systems (GIS) within an organization.
