商品描述

Description:

Scientists, academics, and professionals studying the world’s oceans and seas use geographic information systems (GIS) to investigate their areas of interest. Population sprawl along the coasts and in nearshore zones and the potential threat of rising sea levels create many new problems and challenges. As marine plants and animals face increasing environmental threats, researchers are discovering how GIS can help conserve these important and valuable populations and resources.

For many in the marine community, modern advancements in technology mean a heightened responsibility to influence decisions that will lead to healthy and sustainable oceans and seas. Marine Geography: GIS for the Oceans and Seas is a collection of case studies documenting some of the many applications of marine GIS in the field today. The contributing authors share their work, challenges, successes, and progress in the use of GIS, and show how it is being used to influence change.

With a foreword by Charles Convis, founder of the ESRI Conservation Program and a co-founder of the Society for Conservation GIS, Marine Geography: GIS for the Oceans and Seas shows how geography, maps, and data analysis can make a difference in the health of the undersea environment.”

描述:
科學家、學者和專業人士利用地理信息系統(GIS)研究世界的海洋。沿海地區和近岸區域的人口擴散以及海平面上升的潛在威脅帶來了許多新問題和挑戰。隨著海洋植物和動物面臨日益增加的環境威脅,研究人員正在發現GIS如何幫助保護這些重要和有價值的族群和資源。

對於海洋界的許多人來說,技術的現代進步意味著更高的責任,以影響將導致健康和可持續的海洋和海洋的決策。《海洋地理學:海洋和海洋的GIS》是一本記錄了當今海洋GIS的許多應用案例的專著。貢獻作者分享了他們在GIS使用方面的工作、挑戰、成功和進展,並展示了它如何被用來影響變革。

該書由ESRI保護計劃的創始人和保護GIS學會的聯合創始人查爾斯·康維斯(Charles Convis)撰寫前言,展示了地理、地圖和數據分析如何對海底環境的健康產生影響。
