Geographic Information Systems and Science
Geographic Information Systems and Science by Jorge Rocha, published by BoD – Books on Demand in 2019, is a comprehensive exploration of geographic information science (GISc). This 184-page book is presented in English and addresses the collaborative nature of GISc, which is gaining traction across various fields. It aims to clarify the interdisciplinary aspects of GISc, making it accessible to students, researchers, and general users alike.
Readers will find a structured approach to understanding GISc through an introductory chapter followed by eight main chapters divided into five sections. The content covers essential topics such as location analytics, remote sensing data analysis, big data, and augmented reality, as well as the role of volunteered geographic information. This edition serves as a resource for those looking to deepen their knowledge of the mathematical and formulaic processes involved in GISc solutions, while also providing insights into its applications in science, earth sciences, and geography.
Official synopsis Publisher
Geographic information science (GISc) has established itself as a collaborative information-processing scheme that is increasing in popularity. Yet, this interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary system is still somewhat misunderstood. This book talks about some of the GISc domains encompassing students, researchers, and common users. Chapters focus on important aspects of GISc, keeping in mind the processing capability of GIS along with the mathematics and formulae involved in getting each solution. The book has one introductory and eight main chapters divided into five sections. The first section is more general and focuses on what GISc is and its relation to GIS and Geography, the second is about location analytics and modeling, the third on remote sensing data analysis, the fourth on big data and augmented reality, and, finally, the fifth looks over volunteered geographic information.
