Spatial Analysis of Coastal Environments

Informationen zum Autor Sarah M. Hamylton is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Wollongong, New South Wales, where she specialises in the spatial analysis of coastal environments. Her research interests include the application of geospatial technology to tropical coastal environments. Her maps have helped establish marine protected areas, and her models of how climate change impacts coral reefs have informed national coastal policies. Klappentext This book covers the spatial analytical tools needed to map, monitor and explain or predict coastal features, with accompanying online exercises. Zusammenfassung This book covers the spatial analytical tools needed to map! monitor and explain or predict coastal features. Presenting empirical geographical approaches using recent technological developments! while providing detailed case studies on a range of coastal environments! it is an ideal resource for undergraduates studying spatial science.
