DESCRIPTION:
There
is considerable current academic interest in the interface between geographical
information systems (GIS) and the environment. This new monograph explores the
process from start to finish. It begins with information acquisition in the environment
and moves on to tool and techniques for manipulating the information,
visualisation and navigation methods for exploring it, and computation and
modelling techniques for its analysis. It then concludes with a survey of
decision support, for its application. Spatial Information and the Environment
is the eighth book in the Innovations in GIS series initiated in 1994. The
series is in essence derived from a selection of the presentations made at the
annual GIS Research UK conference 2000 held in York, and has now changed its
focus by concentrating on a single topic, making each text distinctive.
