Environmental Data Analysis (eBook, ePUB)

Methods and Applications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With the dramatic development of air-space-ground-sea environmental monitoring networks and large-scale high-resolution Earth simulators, Environmental science is facing opportunities and challenges of big data. Environmental Data Analysis focuses on state-of-the-art models and methods for big environmental data and demonstrates their applications through various case studies in the real world. It covers the comprehensive range of topics in data analysis in space, time and spectral domains, including linear and nonlinear environmental systems, feature extraction models, data envelopment analysis, risk assessments, and life cycle assessments. The 2nd Edition adds emerging network models, including neural networks, complex networks, downscaling analysis and streaming data on network.

This book is a concise and self-contained work with enormous amount of information. It is a must-read for environmental scientists who struggle to conduct big data mining and data scientists who try to find the way into environmental science.

Rezensionen

"Den Anspruch, ein wenig beachtetes Kapitel der Utopiegeschichte zwischen bürgerlichem Realismus und Neuer Sachlichkeit aufzuarbeiten und dabei auch ihre sich wandelnde Dynamik im Austausch mit anderen Diskursen zu rekonstruieren, löst die Studie zweifellos ein. Bedeutsamer noch als diese Revision der Utopiegeschichte ist jedoch vielleicht ein anderes Verdienst: Die Untersuchung vermag die Gattung tatsächlich als 'Schauplatz politischer Imaginationsbildung' zu konturieren und erschließt damit ein bisher kaum beachtetes 'Erklärungspotenzial' der Utopie [...]."
