Geospatial Technologies for Natural Resources Management - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The book in question is characterized by exceptional quality, with its content flowing seamlessly from the characterization of biophysical resources and land use systems to the farming systems level, ultimately culminating at the catchment/watershed level. Additionally, the inclusion of modeling studies serves to update readers on current trends, while vulnerability studies provide a comprehensive set of information for future action plans. The authors impressive skills are also evident in the development of customized GIS tools for learning and knowledge sharing. This book stands out as an exemplary effort in the field of geo-informatics and the use of GIS technologies for the effective and efficient management of natural resources. The authors, hailing from prestigious institutions such as CGIAR, ICRISAT, the University of Tokyo, Japan, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Tsukuba, Japan, and the Kansas State University, USA, among others, have contributed their expertise in areas such as biophysical resource characterization and quality assessment, agricultural vulnerability to climate change, rainfall variation, water availability, and urbanization, as well as the development of customized GIS applications, knowledge sharing, and learning tools. The authors have also made significant contributions in the form of comprehensive reviews in the fields of data mining, farm-level applications, and modeling for the retrieval of biophysical parameters.
