Description
Description
Geoinformatics for Geosciences: Advanced Geospatial Analysis using RS, GIS and Soft Computing is a comprehensive guide to the methodologies and techniques that can be used in Earth observation data assessments, geospatial analysis, and soft computing in the geosciences. The book covers a variety of spatiotemporal problems and topics in the areas of the environment, geohazards, urban analysis, health, pollution, climate change, resources and geomorphology, among others. Sections cover environmental and climate issues, analysis of geomorphological data, hazard and disaster impacts, natural and human resources, the influence of environmental conditions, geohazards, climate change, geomorphological changes, etc., and socioeconomic challenges.
Detailing up-to-date techniques in geoinformatics, this book offers in-depth, up-to-date methodologies for researchers and academics to understand how contemporary data can be combined with innovative techniques and tools in order to address challenges in the geosciences.
