Environmental Systems - A Multidimensional Approach

Klappentext This book is about initiatives to bring environmental management, engineering, and science to the multimedia age. Those initiatives integrate old with new methods for collecting, storing, modeling, representing, and making available environmental information on the Internet. The book combines the introduction of fundamental concepts with guidance to related and expanded views; these views are detailed in a comprehensive list of Web links--periodically updated at the book's Web site--and a bibliography. Zusammenfassung The impact of the Internet on environmental science and engineering activities is the focus of this book. It covers a wide range of topics, such as monitoring, information system design, and modelling and interactive visualisation. It also contains information on hundreds of relevant Web sites, information which will be regularly updated through access to the book's own Web site.
