Terrain Analysis Principles and Applications
Terrain Analysis Principles and Applications by John P. Wilson, published by John Wiley & Sons on August 3, 2000, is a comprehensive resource that explores the integration of GIS and related technologies in terrain analysis. This edition spans 524 pages and is presented in English. The book reflects the collaborative efforts of thirteen research groups from four countries, detailing how tools like GPS and remote sensing, alongside computer modeling, are utilized in analyzing terrain.
Readers will find in-depth discussions on the application of Terrain Analysis Programs for Environmental Sciences (TAPES), an innovative tool developed by Professor Ian Moore. The contributors provide insights into specific geomorphologic problems, algorithms used in current terrain analysis software, and the interpretation of terrain attributes in predictive models. This work is particularly relevant for professionals in fields such as ecology, environmental engineering, geography, and hydrology, who rely on advanced technologies for their research and applications in the digital age.
Official synopsis Publisher
The only reference on the use of GIS and related technologies in terrain analysis
In this landmark publication, reflecting the collaborative effort of thirteen research groups based in four countries, leading experts detail how GIS and related technologies, such as GPS and remote sensing, are now being used, with the aid of computer modeling, in terrain analysis. Continuing the innovative work of Professor Ian Moore, a visionary who saw terrain analysis as a robust method for modeling the large areas and complex spatial patterns of environmental systems, Terrain Analysis puts into action TAPES, or Terrain Analysis Programs for Environmental Sciences, Dr. Moore’s innovative tool for terrain analysis. The book’s contributors describe how TAPES are applied to specific geomorphologic problems, explain the algorithms used in current terrain analysis software, and examine the interpretation and use of terrain attributes in predictive models.
With expert coverage of terrain analysis in the digital age, Terrain Analysis will be welcomed by ecologists, environmental engineers, geographers, and hydrologists who increasingly depend on GIS, GPS, and remote sensing.
