GIS for Environmental Decision-Making

GIS for Environmental Decision-Making

Environmental applications have long been a core use of GIS. However the effectiveness of GIS-based methods depends on the decision-making frameworks and contexts within which they are employed. GIS for Environmental Decision-Making takes an interdisciplinary look at the capacities of GIS to integrate analyze and display data on which decisions must be based. It provides a broad prospective on the current state of GIS for environmental decision-making and emphasizes the importance of matters related to data analysis and modeling tools as well as stakeholder participation. The book is divided into three sections which effectively relate to three key aspects of the decision-making process as supported by GIS: data required tools being developed and aspects of participation. The first section stresses the ability to integrate data from different sources as a defining characteristic of GIS and illustrates the benefits that this can bring in the context of deriving land-use and other information. The second section discusses a range of issues concerning the use of GIS for suitability mapping and strategic planning exercises through illustrative examples. The last section of the book focuses on the use of GIS-based techniques to facilitate public participation in decision-making processes. In particular it provides an overview of developments in this area concentrating on how GIS modeling and 3D landscape visualization techniques are gradually achieving closer integration. Given the complex challenges presented by global environmental change GIS for Environmental Decision-Making provides a clear illustration of how the use of GIS can make significant contributions to trans-disciplinary initiatives to address environmental problems.

Basic GIS Coordinates

Basic GIS Coordinates

Coordinates are integral building tools for GIS cartography surveying and are vital to the many applications we use today such as smart phones car navigation systems and driverless cars. Basic GIS Coordinates Third Edition grants readers with a solid understanding of coordinates and coordinate systems and how they operate as well as valuable insight into what causes them to malfunction. This practical and comprehensive guide lays out the foundation of a coordinate system and the implications behind building it as it elaborates on heights two coordinate systems and the rectangular system. The previous editions described horizontal and vertical datums such as the North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) and the North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88). Both will be replaced in 2022 or thereabouts. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) plans to replace NAD83 with a new semi-dynamic terrestrial reference frame for North America and a new vertical datum will replace NAVD88. The foundation of the new vertical datum will be a temporally tracked gravimetric geoid. The interim period is intended to smooth the transition to the new paradigm and this new edition explores the changes and provides assistance in understanding them.

Spatial Mathematics Theory and Practice through Mapping

In terms of statistics GIS offers many connections. With GIS data are gathered displayed summarized examined and interpreted to discover patterns. Spatial Mathematics: Theory and Practice through Mapping uses GIS as a platform to teach mathematical concepts and skills through visualization of numbers. It examines theory and practice from disparate academic disciplines such as geography mathematics physics and general social science. This approach allows students to grapple with biodiversity crime natural hazards climate energy water and other relevant real-world issues of the twenty-first century. Includes QR Codes Linked to Animated Maps a Mapping Activity Site or to an Interactive Webpage Creating an Interactive Resource That Stays RelevantThe book integrates competing philosophical views of the world: synthesis and analysis. These two approaches yield different results and employ different tools. This book considers both approaches to looking at real-world issues that have mathematics as a critical but often unseen component. This approach shows readers how to use mathematics to consider the broad problem at hand and to explore diverse realms in the worlds of geography and mathematics and in their interface. A truly interdisciplinary text the book bridges the worlds of mathematics and geography and demonstrates how they are inextricably linked. It takes advantage of the convergence in citizen science STEM education and mapping that help readers become critical consumers of data—understanding its content quality limitations and benefits. It provides thorough grounding in the analytical statistical and computational skills required for working in any field that uses geospatial technologies—not just surveyors and remote sensing analysts. | Spatial Mathematics Theory and Practice through Mapping

It is based on R a statistical programming language that has powerful data processing visualization and geospatial capabilities. The book equips you with the knowledge and skills to tackle a wide range of issues manifested in geographic data including those with scientific societal and environmental implications. This book will interest people from many backgrounds especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users interested in applying their domain-specific knowledge in a powerful open source language for data science and R users interested in extending their skills to handle spatial data. The book is divided into three parts: (I) Foundations aimed at getting you up-to-speed with geographic data in R (II) extensions which covers advanced techniques and (III) applications to real-world problems. The chapters cover progressively more advanced topics with early chapters providing strong foundations on which the later chapters build. Part I describes the nature of spatial datasets in R and methods for manipulating them. It also covers geographic data import/export and transforming coordinate reference systems. Part II represents methods that build on these foundations. It covers advanced map making (including web mapping) bridges to GIS sharing reproducible code and how to do cross-validation in the presence of spatial autocorrelation. Part III applies the knowledge gained to tackle real-world problems including representing and modeling transport systems finding optimal locations for stores or services and ecological modeling. Exercises at the end of each chapter give you the skills needed to tackle a range of geospatial problems. Solutions for each chapter and supplementary materials providing extended examples are available at https://geocompr. github. io/geocompkg/articles/.
