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

GIS, Environmental Modeling and Engineering

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.

Standards-Based Data and Information Systems for Earth Observation

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

Geo-Communication and Information Design

Lars Brodersen has written a book that describes what geocomunucation means and what it involves. In his view, geocommunication is much different than cartography alone. In this paper, we will set out some of the results and findings. We have attempted to identify a number of trends and to indicate what their significance may be
