Application of Geospatial Technology and Modelling on Natural Resources Management
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
9783031846977 (ISBN)
This contributed volume provides coverage of geospatial technology and modelling techniques that are useful for natural resource assessment at various scales, from regional to global. This makes it a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, scientists, faculties and students interested in understanding how geospatial tools can be used to assess natural resources. The book provides numerous examples of how geospatial technology and modeling can be applied to different natural resource management scenarios, including forest management, wildlife conservation, water resources management, and climate change adaptation. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to natural resource management, bringing together perspectives from ecology, environment, geography, geology, and other fields.
