Book Description
During the last year's great efforts have been made to study the climate change, which the temperature changes are the main cause to it. Therefore, efforts have increased to solve these problems; methods for investigating the means variances, anomalies, trends changes, and likely threats. This book is produced to discuss the approach of GIS in the analysis of climate change data. At a time when talking about GIS technique, we mean "toward the best world" by solving the problems and protecting our planet. The book shows the approach and methodology of GIS in mapping and assessing climate change trends. Geographical Information Science and System (GIS) can be a powerful tool for analyzing the climate change problem and determining of the Affecting Factors. The book comprises many of topics such as climate change concepts, History, and Future, GIS concepts, approach and methodology in Exploration of Temperature Data, Geostatistical analysis, interpolation methods, spatial and temporal analysis of temperature trends.

Spatial Modeling in GIS and R for Earth and Environmental Sciences
Author: Hamid Reza Pourghasemi
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128156953
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 800
Book Description
Spatial Modeling in GIS and R for Earth and Environmental Sciences offers an integrated approach to spatial modelling using both GIS and R. Given the importance of Geographical Information Systems and geostatistics across a variety of applications in Earth and Environmental Science, a clear link between GIS and open source software is essential for the study of spatial objects or phenomena that occur in the real world and facilitate problem-solving. Organized into clear sections on applications and using case studies, the book helps researchers to more quickly understand GIS data and formulate more complex conclusions. The book is the first reference to provide methods and applications for combining the use of R and GIS in modeling spatial processes. It is an essential tool for students and researchers in earth and environmental science, especially those looking to better utilize GIS and spatial modeling. - Offers a clear, interdisciplinary guide to serve researchers in a variety of fields, including hazards, land surveying, remote sensing, cartography, geophysics, geology, natural resources, environment and geography - Provides an overview, methods and case studies for each application - Expresses concepts and methods at an appropriate level for both students and new users to learn by example

Rediscovering Geography
Author: Rediscovering Geography Committee
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309577624
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
As political, economic, and environmental issues increasingly spread across the globe, the science of geography is being rediscovered by scientists, policymakers, and educators alike. Geography has been made a core subject in U.S. schools, and scientists from a variety of disciplines are using analytical tools originally developed by geographers. Rediscovering Geography presents a broad overview of geography's renewed importance in a changing world. Through discussions and highlighted case studies, this book illustrates geography's impact on international trade, environmental change, population growth, information infrastructure, the condition of cities, the spread of AIDS, and much more. The committee examines some of the more significant tools for data collection, storage, analysis, and display, with examples of major contributions made by geographers. Rediscovering Geography provides a blueprint for the future of the discipline, recommending how to strengthen its intellectual and institutional foundation and meet the demand for geographic expertise among professionals and the public.
