Book excerpt: The past 20 years can be regarded as the adolescence of geographic information science (GIS), as it grew from a burgeoning area of study into a mature and thriving field. During those two decades, the International Journal of Geographic Information Science (formerly Systems) (IJGIS) was one of the most prominent academic guiding forces in GIScience

Download or read book Marine and Coastal Geographical Information Systems written by Dawn J. Wright and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-12-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine and coastal applications of GIS are finally gaining wide acceptance in scientific as well as GIS communities, and cover the fields of deep sea geology, chemistry and biology, and coastal geology, biology, engineering and resource management. Comprising rigorous contributions from a group of leading scholars in marine and coastal GIS, this book will inspire and stimulate continued research in this important new application domain. Launched as a project to mark the UN International Year of the Ocean (1998) and supported by the International Geographical Union's Commission on Coastal Systems, this book covers progress and research in the marine and coastal realms, in the areas of theory, applications and empirical results. It is the first book of its kind to address basic and applied scientific problems in deep sea and coastal science using GIS and remote sensing technologies. It is designed for GIS and remote sensing specialists, but also for those with an interest in oceans, lakes and shores. Coverage ranges from seafloor spreading centres to Exclusive Economic Zones to microscale coastal habitats; and techniques include submersibles, computer modelling, image display, 3-D temporal data visualization, and development and application of new algorithms and spatial data structures. It illustrates the broad usage of GIS, image processing, and computer modelling in deep sea and coastal environments, and also addresses important institutional issues arising out of the use of these technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally conceived as a technical manual, but now offering the reader so much more, this timely work deals with various aspects of geohazards – surely an area of growing importance in this world of global warming. Using photogeology and remote sensing, Quebecois researcher Rivard’s work is unique in that the succinct text supports the illustrations, and is devised as a quick-reference, standardized presentation of 170 globally occurring photo-geomorphological units.

Download or read book Modelling Coastal Sea Processes Proceedings Of The International Ocean And Atmosphere Pacific Conference written by John Noye and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999-11-26 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains updated, reviewed versions of the best papers on “Modelling Coastal Sea Processes” presented at the International Ocean and Atmosphere Pacific Conference, held in Adelaide, South Australia, on 23-27 October 1995. The articles were selected on both scientific merit and usefulness to coastal engineers, physical oceanographers and marine biologists. They cover a range of topics including the modelling of tides and storm surges (especially inundation due to surges), the analysis of modelled or recorded data to permit prediction of tide heights over tidal flats and tidal currents in the presence of coastal eddies, and the modelling of dispersion of fish larvae from spawning grounds to coastal nurseries. Computational techniques are emphasised in line with modern applications, but some analytical techniques have also been included.

Download or read book Erosion of Geomaterials written by Stephane Bonelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to deliver significant scientific progress on the problem of the erosion of geomaterials, focusing on the mechanical/physical aspect. The chapters oscillate between a phenomenological outlook that is well grounded in experiments, and an approach that can offer a modeling framework. The basic mechanisms of internal and surface erosion are tackled one-by-one: filtration, suffusion, contact erosion, concentrated leak erosion, sediment and wind transport, bedload transport. These erosion mechanisms comprise both hydraulic structures (dams, dikes) and natural environments (wind, river, coastal). In this book, physicists and mechanicians share with the reader their most recent findings in their field work and study, while at the same time maintaining an accessible format. This compendium provides a well-documented information resource, and above all, a tool for approaching the issue of erosion of geomaterials in an up-to-date fashion for students, researchers and practitioners alike.
Download or read book Erosion des g omat riaux written by BONELLI Stéphane and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce traité délivre une partie significative du regard scientifique français actuel sur l'érosion des géomatériaux dans les domaines des ouvrages hydrauliques (barrages, digues) et des milieux naturels (éoliens, fluviaux, côtiers). Les mécanismes élémentaires d'érosion interne et d'érosion de surface sont abordés un à un : filtration, suffusion, érosion de contact, érosion de conduit, transport sédimentaire, transport par charriage. Privilégiant un angle d'approche mécanique/physique, les contributions alternent entre une vision phénoménologique résolument ancrée sur le fait expérimental et une description capable de proposer un cadre de modélisation. Dans ce traité, des physiciens et des mécaniciens font partager au lecteur les connaissances les plus récentes dans leur domaine tout en gardant une présentation accessible. Les étudiants, les chercheurs et les ingénieurs y trouveront une source d'information bien documentée, pour aborder de manière moderne l'érosion des géomatériaux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, coastal dune specialists from tropical and temperate latitudes cover a wide set of topics, including: geomorphology, community dynamics, ecophysiology, biotic interactions and environmental problems and conservation. The book offers recommendations for future research, identifying relevant topics where detailed knowledge is still lacking. It also identifies management tools that will promote and maintain the rich diversity of the dune environments in the context of continuing coastal development.
