Interdisciplinary Environmental Solutions (eBook, PDF)

Using Geospatial Technologies for Bridging Disciplines, Scale and Data

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook presents a clear and accessible argument for sustainable planning and development. The book discusses multiple environmental issues and examines how potential solutions can and should be addressed in the context of space and place. The book also offers an invaluable discussion on the need for a framework for system-based thinking where various disciplines should work together to find innovative solutions. Students are provided with an appreciation of the need for an interdisciplinary approach to these issues combined with an underlying sense of space, an appreciation of cultural diversity and differences, as well as associated insights into human relationships. These core attributes put space at the heart of environmental and natural resources management, in terms of policy, planning and on-the-ground initiatives.

This book will be an invaluable reference for advanced undergraduate, graduate students and researchers working in the field looking for an accessible overview of this interdisciplinary approach to the topic.

Autorenporträt

Dr Barnali Dixon is currently Professor of Geospatial Technologies, in the Program of Environmental Science and Policy, at University of South Florida. She is also the founding director of the Geospatial Analytics lab (G-SAL) and the Executive Director of Initiative on VCoastalResilienbce and Adaptation (iCAR). Dr Dixon's research focuses on the development and application of spatially integrated decision support tools (SDST) using GIS, GPS and remote sensing tools for modeling and managing soil, landuse and land-water interfaces using approximation tools. She is particularly interested in model development that are transdisciplinary in nature.
