Environmental Modelling with GIS and Remote Sensing

Detailing the applications of remote sensing and GIS for environmental monitoring, modelling, and assessment, this book sets out current research results and provides operational methods for environmental mapping and monitoring. With contributions from key international authors, the book brings together case studies, theories, and applications of GIS and environmental modelling and focuses on data availability, quality of data, and appropriate models for specific applications. The book examines environmental models and delineates how these models have been extrapolated in space and time in order to develop policy and ultimately assist managers of the environment.
