Ecosystem and Territorial Resilience: A Geoprospective Approach provides a full review of the geoprospective approach and how it can be used in planning for and implementing environmental and territorial resilience measures. The geoprospective approach is a way to predict and assess for future risks, and is a comprehensive method for identifying and addressing potential change impacts. In addition to the main concepts and methods of this approach, the book presents applications and case studies for different spatio-temporal scales and problems related to the degradation of socio-ecosystems, as well as applying the geoprospective approach to environmental and urban planning.The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective, tying in concepts and techniques from geography, including spatial analysis methods, modelling, and GIS, to address issues of ecological impacts of climate change, urban risk and resilience, land use changes, coastal impacts, and sustainable development and potential of adaptability. This book is a unique and integral resource for policy makers, environmental and territorial managers, scientists, engineers, consultants, and graduate students interested in anticipating future change in socio-ecosystems.
- Introduces the geoprospective approach to assess the impact of global changes on socio-ecosystems, and potential risk situations for ecosystems and society
- Includes geographical techniques such as spatial analysis methods, modeling, and GIS to address various climate change issues and to detect vulnerabilities vs adaptive capacities of spatial systems
- Provides case studies as well as interviews with planners and policy makers regarding their views on territorial planning and expectations of the geoprospective
Policy makers and environmental managers concerned with risks and ecosystems impacted by climate change; climate scientists, engineers, consultants, MA/PhD students

Christine Voiron-Canicio is a professor of geography at Universite´ Côte d’Azur, France. She is a recipient of bronze medal
from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and is a co-founder of the Geoprospective research
group and a co-head of the Territorial Resilience Strategy training for sustainable city stakeholders, in collaboration with
Sustainable Cities France. She led the ESPACE lab in France from 2008 to 2017. She specializes in spatial analysis applied
to sustainability issues, including: urban risks, slow evolutions and sudden phenomena, vulnerabilities, and resilience.
She couples scientific skills in modeling and spatial simulations with geoprospective approaches, aimed at anticipating
the spatial impacts of future changes. She is currently involved in research into diagnosing and improving the adaptive
capacity of regions and cities.
