GIS Modeling in Raster

AUTHOR DeMers, Michael N.
PUBLISHER Wiley (08/14/2001)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)
Description

This new text is written for the second GIS course taken by Geography majors. The primary focus of GIS Modeling in Raster is on the process of cartographic modeling and GIS modeling. The text goes beyond cartographic modeling to incorporate supplementary or complementary technologies and logics to show that spatio-temporal modeling is not limited to cartographic modeling, nor to Map Algebra. DeMers consistent, friendly and engaging style has been highly praised by reviewers of this title as well as users of his market leading Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems. This title provides students with the tools for problem solving skills and problem identification required for jobs above the ranks of the basic GIS technician.

More than a classroom text this book is a long-term resource for the raster GIS modeling professional. From the basics of Map Algebra and its natural language interface to complex hydrological modeling techniques--from model conceptualization to model implementation--and from flowcharting to verification, this book brings together a wide range of topical information concerning raster GIS modeling in a single volume. Simple graphics help explain the concepts quickly and ample references provide the modeler with concrete examples upon which to draw inspiration and ideas. GIS Modeling in Raster provides an organized environment for the classroom setting, plus an easily accessible reference for the working professional.
