Geoinformatics for Climate Change Studies

Climate change is increasingly being considered a critical topicin research and policy-making. Evidences related to climate changedeal with spatial and non-spatial data, which can be utilized forpolicy formulation. Geoinformatics, which includes remote sensing,GIS, GPS, and ICT, provides the most relevant technology to monitorclimate change-related variables at different dimensions andscales. Geoinformatics for Climate Change Studies discusses the art of using this technology for investigating,monitoring, documenting, and understanding the impacts of climatechange. This book provides information on the concepts and uses ofgeoinformatics, and focuses on filling the gap in the availableliterature on the subject by bringing together concepts, theories,and experiences of experts in this field. Key Features: Contains comprehensive information on the latest developments in geoinformatics for climate change studies. Chapters range over a wide variety of application areas, including forestry, glaciers, sea level rise, and agriculture. Highlights the potential usage of geoinformatics in understanding climatic changes. A conceptual guide and ready reference for students, researchers, and teachers working in the field of geoinformatics.
