Product Description
Professionals in local and national government and in the private sector frequently need to draw on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), often in an integrated manner. This manual shows a hands-on operator how to work across the range of geospatial science and techonology, whether as a user or as a contractor of services employing these technologies, and without either specialist education or substantial experience. The manual covers the fundamentals of each of these topical areas, providing the requisite mathematics, computer science and physics necessary to understand how the technologies work, assuming some elementary background in calculus and commonalities. A numberof applications such as mapping and environmental modelling are presented, and a website accompanies the book.
