Description
Geographical Information Systems: A Practical Approach provides a comprehensive introduction to GIS and their environmental, social and economic applications. This new edition has been substantially revised and updated to incorporate key developments in GIS technology and spatial data science.
The book covers concepts, methods, techniques and tools in GIS for spatial data capturing, processing, visualisation, analysis, modelling and decision-making. It also incorporates advanced machine learning techniques for spatial data analysis and modelling, as well as extended coverage of spatial visualisation with 3D mapping and online mapping.
With its focus on weaving together GIS theory and practice, this book helps readers learn important GIS concepts and methods through practicals with ArcGIS Pro or QGIS. New case studies illustrate the innovative use of GIS for a wide range of applications, making it an accessible resource for students, scientists and practitioners in environmental science, earth science, geography and other scientific fields.
