Geospatial professionals and users of related products, services and geodata often use a wide variety of technologies and apply spatial knowledge in numerous applications. To do this effectively requires an understanding of these technologies and how they can be used. The Manual of Geospatial Science and Technology includes a wealth of information, providing both technical aspects and conceptual knowledge. The combination provides a comprehensive overview of currently available geospatial resources and how they are applied.

- 03 May 2010 | By Jeff Thurston | 3224
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) link environmental modelling and engineering technologies and applications together. They allow simulation of scientific phenomena to take place and also enable verification and validation of spatial data modelling. This book describes the connection between GIS and environmental modelling and includes many examples that help readers to understand this relation.Ocean Globe

Ocean Globe examines bathymetry as it is practised and used within the the world's oceans. The data gathered, produced and used often relies upon geographic information systems (GIS) and other technologies. Seafloor mapping and bathymetry are discussed through both historical and current work as presented by historians, oceanographers and explorers of the ocean. Topics include animal migrations, aquatic farming, tsunami, whale habitats and the evolution of modern bathymetry mapping technologies such as lidar, echo sounding and radar techniques. The delivery of this information is outlined for server-based GIS use.Standards-Based Data and Information Systems for Earth Observation

- 25 April 2010 | By Jeff Thurston | 2157
The development of standards based systems support the processing, archiving, management and distribution of spatial data. These benefits are particularly important in the field of earth observation which involves the capture of data from hundreds of different types of sensors and thousands of different distribution products. Editors Liping Di and H.K. Ramapriyan provide a collection of material from leading international sources on the topic of standards based systems for earth observation as part of the Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography series from Springer publishers.
