Spatial Uncertainty in Ecology: Implications for Remote Sensing and GIS Applications
| PUBLISHER | Springer (06/29/2001) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
There has been a huge growth in the use of geographic information systems, remote sensing platforms and spatial databases in ecology and environmental science. This book takes an explicitly ecological perspective on uncertainty in spatial data. It applies principles and techniques from other disciplines, including geography, cartography, cognition, spatial statistics, remote sensing and computer sciences to ecological research. After describing the uses of spatial data for ecologists, the authors discuss how to better include the effects of uncertainty in various methods of analysis.
