Opis

A comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the recent state of coastal zone GIS applications, this book critically examines the intellectual and organizational contexts of coastal GIS. The book discusses recent developments and specific applications that can be used to help marine and environmental scientists enhance their skills. The techniques presented teach GIS applications in a coastal setting, including shoreline mapping, ship-borne data collection techniques, coastal decision making with GIS, and more. The contributors, all international experts, cover a broad range of topics using a logical organization, which lends the entire book a flow and structure lacking in many multi-authored texts.
