This textbook is a step-by-step tutorial on the applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in environmental and water resource issues. It provides information about GIS and its applications, specifically using the most advanced ESRI GIS technology and its extensions. Eighteen chapters cover GIS applications in the field of earth sciences and water resources in detail from the ground up. Author William Bajjali explains what a GIS is and what it is used for, the basics of map classification, data acquisition, coordinate systems and projections, vectorization, geodatabase and relational database, data editing, geoprocessing, suitability modeling, working with raster, watershed delinea...
This textbook serves as a practical guide for undergraduate and graduate students in geology, hydrology, ecology, and environmental sciences, teaching them applied GIS techniques. Presented as a step-by-step tutorial across seventeen chapters, the book starts with the fundamentals of GIS and progresses to real-life examples from geology and water resources. The focus is on ESRI's ArcGIS Pro, covering various tools for spatial, geostatistical, network, and 3-D analysis. Additionally, it explores ArcGIS Online and working with web apps like Web Map, StoryMaps, and GEO App. GIS applications, especially in water and environmental problem-solving, are rapidly growing worldwide. The demand for GIS experts utilizing spatial analysis in environmental science remains high. This textbook equips users with the necessary knowledge to become effective mappers and spatial analysts in the fields of environment, geosciences, and water resources, employing the latest state-of-the-art methodology. Each chapter provides exercises and supplementary materials available for download on SpringerLink, along with additional links for further learning opportunities.
The Directory of Geoscience Departments 50th Edition is the most comprehensive directory and source of information about geosciences departments and researchers available. It is an invaluable resource for individuals working in the geosciences or must identify or work with specialists on the issues of Earth, Environmental, and related sciences and engineering fields. The Directory of Geoscience Departments 50th Edition provides a state/country-sorted listing of nearly 2300 geoscience departments, research departments, institutes, and their faculty and staff. Information on contact information for departments and individuals is provided, as well as details on department enrollments, faculty specialties, and the date and source of faculty and staff's highest degree. New in the 50th edition: Listing of all US and Canadian geoscience theses and dissertations accepted in 2012 that have been reported to GeoRef Information Services, as well as a listing of faculty by their research specialty.
Grundwasser ist innerhalb weniger Jahrzehnte zu einer der meistgenutzten naturlichen Ressourcen weltweit geworden. Diese beeindruckende Karriere hat jedoch eine Kehrseite: Insbesondere in den Trockengebieten der Erde sind die Vorkommen durch Ubernutzung und Aufzehrung bedroht. Silvan Eppinger untersucht das Potential rechtlicher Regelungen, diese Entwicklung zu regulieren und nachhaltige Losungen der Grundwasserkrise zu erreichen. Der diachrone Vergleich der Rechtsentwicklung in Arizona und Jordanien zeigt, dass sich im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts in den beiden Landern ein in grundlegenden Aspekten ubereinstimmender rechtlicher Rahmen fur die Regelung der Grundwassernutzung herausgebildet hat. Die Wirkung und Rolle dieser Regelungsansatze innerhalb der spezifischen, gesellschaftlichen und staatlichen Kontexte von Arizona und Jordanien sind jedoch grundsatzlich verschieden.
