Two important, synergistic trends occurred during the 1990s that have changed the face of decision making. The first was the established ubiquity of the Internet and the Web over a highly interconnected telecommunications environment, which […]
An important function of GIS when coupled with environmental modeling is postprocessing and visualization. The postprocessing has already been discussed in previous chapters. Here we will give some consideration to the visualization and communication of […]
In Chapter 5, Figure 5.6 showed how there is a range of alternative, even complementary strategies that could be put forward to reduce the level of risk depending on the degree of prevention or preparedness […]
Digital spatial data sets have grown rapidly in scope, coverage, and volume over the last decade. We have moved from data-poverty to data-ichness. On the other hand, environmental models have steadily grown more complex, are […]
Calibration is the process of adjusting model parameter values to obtain a closer fit between observed and simulated variables. The issue is contentious from two main perspectives. First, some may say that if the model […]
When working either in a geocomputational mode or in complex modeling situations, it is unlikely that the scientist or professional will be working with just a single tool. It is likely instead that several different […]
