Geospatial Solutions for Ecological Challenges and Sustainability (Advances in Geographic Information Science)

This contributed volume serves as a comprehensive exploration of how the diverse earth observation data and innovative geospatial tools can unravel the intricate interactions between human society and ecological environment. Human activities are known to have a wide range of impacts on complex ecological systems, and Geospatial Technology can be helpful in evaluating these impacts. To bridge the gap between available information and urgent action needed to achieve the global goals on sustainability by improving the ecological environment, this book brings together leading experts, practitioners, and policymakers to share their insights and experiences for a wide array of pressing ecological concerns. The chapters cover diverse application of geospatial technology in land use land cover change assessment, water resource management, Biodiversity and Wildlife Habitat conservation, Vegetation and Forest Cover monitoring, Coastal and marine pollution control, monitoring climate-related variable leading to climate change etc. - all with the aim of untangling the deep connections between ecology and society through spatial technologies.
