Produktbeschreibung

Originally intended for desktop mapping and analysis, Geographic Information Systems have been coupled to other technologies, due to the limitations in commercially available systems, and has occurred in areas including visualisation, simulation, data storage and management and decision support. This book, written by an international group of experts, focuses on the use of GIS and the technology it has been allied to. A companion website offers additional materials and links.
