Dadurch entsteht ein umfassendes und zeitgemäßes Handbuch für den Berufsschulunterricht und zur Prüfungsvorbereitung im Bereich der Geoinformatik, Vermessung und Kartographie. Auseiner modernen, digitalen Wissensvermittlung sind die visuellen und kartenbasierten Ansätze der Geomatik nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die in diesem Buch angebotenen Informationen ermöglichen es angehenden Geomatiker:innen und Interessierten selbstständig eigene Geoprodukte zu erstellen.

The book addresses the rapid shifts which have taken place within cartography, and argues that no amount of technological sophistication will lead to neutral representations, and that as such critical cartography provides a solid foundation for questioning the power of maps. It considers the fragmentation, dynamism and opacity that characterise online maps, and argues for the need of new ways of thinking and researching maps. The book offers an approach grounded in 'ontological' social theory and feminist technoscience, and illustrates it through the analysis of three Jerusalem-related mapping controversies. Using online media, historical maps and ethnographic work, each case study explores a different map provider and a recent mapping development: Google Maps and the distributed authorship of web-maps; Waze and algorithmic navigation; OpenStreetMap and crowdsourcing. The book is a key read to faculty and advanced students in Urban Studies and Critical Cartography. It will particularly appeal to those working in the digital geographies

Discover the geographic approach to conservation land management and landscape conservation. Geographic information system (GIS) technology offers a comprehensive tool for conservation professionals.A modern GIS gives users a real-time look at their data, locations, and their relationships. When applied to conservation, it reveals dependencies and challenges across multiple environments. Through maps and apps, conservation professionals can observe the field, analyze and organize their data, and collaborate with other organizations and the public on addressing threats and opportunities found. Preserving Our Planet: GIS for Conservation explores a collection of real-life stories about conservation organizations successfully using GIS to meet challenges to biodiversity preservation in our rapidly changing world.The book also includes a section on next steps that provides ideas, strategies, tools, and actions to help you jump-start your own use of GIS for conservation. A collection of online resources, including additional stories, videos, new ideas and concepts, and downloadable tools and content, complements this book.Edited by David Gadsden, director of conservation solutions at Esri, and Matt Artz, an Esri content strategist.

Volume I discusses fundamental characteristics, measurements and analyses of water features and watersheds including lakes and reservoirs, rivers and streams, and coasts and estuaries. This is the most comprehensive reference for the water research community worldwide.

This compendium is based on more than ten years of urban remote sensing teaching experience, scientific research achievements, and the latest developments of remote sensing technology.The volume is divided into ten chapters, which describes the principles of urban remote sensing and multi-source remote sensing big data acquisition, urban remote sensing image processing methods, urban remote sensing image specific applications in related industries, and the prospect of urban remote sensing development. It summarizes the achievements on urban remote sensing projects, uses a large number of algorithm studies as intuitive materials, combines the achievements of urban remote sensing technology, and provides typical industry solutions or case studies in specific applied urban remote sensing areas.This essential reference textbook benefits undergraduate and graduate students, and anyone keen in urban remote sensing.

Coastal Altimetry: Selected Case Studies from Asian Shelf Seas provides information on developments over the past decade in the processing of remotely sensed altimetry in coastal areas, with an overview of expected errors and where they stem from, along with remaining gaps in processing. Challenges covered include the retracking of the altimetric signal to account for land contamination, tropospheric water corrections, and tidal model improvements, along with the pros and cons of widely available products. Additional chapters provide recent research in the regional seas of Asia and cover variability, dynamics, predictability and prediction, impacts of extreme events, effects to ecosystems, and more. This book offers readers a dataset that can illuminate our understanding of the propagation of planetary boundary waves that have a significant sea level signal in near coastal regions. As such, researchers and students who have a foundation in satellite altimetry and want to know the latest development of open ocean and coastal satellite altimetry, especially in Asian coastal regions, will benefit from this book.

Presents the current research on space-based navigation models and the contents of spaces used for seamless navigation based on 3D spaces. Case studies illustrate theories, approaches, and models, including space classification and reconstruction, unified space-based navigation model derivation, path planning, and comparison of results.

Atmospheric Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications discusses the fundamental principles of atmospheric remote sensing and their applications in different research domains. Furthermore, the book covers the basic concepts of satellite remote sensing of the atmosphere, followed by Ionospheric remote sensing tools like Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very Low Frequency (VLF) wave. Sections emphasize the applications of atmospheric remote study in Ionospheric perturbation, fire detection, aerosol characteristics over land, ocean and Himalayan regions. In addition, the application of atmospheric remote sensing in disaster management like dust storms, cyclones, smoke plume, aerosol-cloud interaction, and their impact on climate change are discussed. This book is a valuable reference for students, researchers and professionals working in atmospheric science, remote sensing, and related disciplines.
