Geo Science

Simulation of Ecological and Environmental Models Miguel F. Acevedo University of North Texas, Denton, USA

"Professor Acevedo's considerable experience in teaching graduate-level courses in environmental modeling has been nicely captured in this excellent and accessible textbook. He covers the field in sufficient breadth to introduce the student to virtually all aspects of environmental modeling, with sufficient depth to convey both the theory and practicality of each topic. This book particularly excels in its handson approach, guiding students through its many exercises and computer sessions so that understanding of each topic is achieved, and the student is provided with the tools necessary to delve further into developing and applying quantitative models for environmental studies. Professor Acevedo's book challenges students to think through not only the what and the how of modeling, but also the why.

Thus, he has successfully achieved his central objective, to present a unified method of teaching that is commensurate with the interdisciplinary and quantitative approaches required today to study and understand complex ecological systems."

—Mark A. Harwell, Harwell Gentile & Associates, LC, Port Orange, Florida, USA

"Acevedo’s new text for environmental simulation is a welcome addition to those now available. The text is based on R (a package of models accompanies the book), and this choice makes it a useful option. The presentation is aimed at classes for early graduate students in the environmental sciences and engineering, but the rigor and hands-on nature of the advanced chapters are complemented by still advanced but accessible introductions to the necessary math and modeling concepts. Courses taught with this text will be challenging, potentially fun, and a great jump-start in environmental simulation for grad students."

—George P. Malanson, University of Iowa, USA

This practical, classroom-tested guide to modeling methodology explains how to implement simulations and analyze the results using a free, open-source software platform. Based on the author’s many years of teaching graduate and undergraduate students in several countries, this textbook brings together principles of modeling methods and theoretical foundations for a variety of ecological and environmental models. Theory is accompanied by practical hands-on

computer exercises, progressing from easy to difficult.

The text also presents a full review of mathematical methods, which makes the book self-contained.

GIS, GPS, Remote Sensing Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing Edited by

Emilio Chuvieco Universidad de Alcala, Spain

Alfredo Huete University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

An extensive review of remote sensing principles with emphasis on environmental applications, this text discusses a wide range of topics, from physical principles to data acquisition systems and visual and digital interpretation techniques. The authors present interpretation approaches such as hyperspectral analysis, high-spatial resolution data, fusion techniques, and radiative transfer models. They analyze accuracy assessment methods and demonstrate how to integrate remote sensing results with geographic information systems. With more than 200 figures and graphs, this text is ideal for students and professionals alike.

• Includes more than 200 figures, graphs, and illustrations • Covers digital image processing techniques used in remote sensing analysis and basic statistical classifiers

GIS, GPS, Remote Sensing Image Analysis, Classification, and Change Detection in Remote Sensing With Algorithms for ENVI/IDL, Second Edition Morton J. Canty Juelich Research Center, Germany

This popular introduction to the processing of remote sensing imagery has been updated to include coverage of the latest versions of the ENVI software environment. This new edition covers support vector machines and other kernel-based methods. Illustrating many programming examples in the array-oriented language ID, the text includes coverage of basic Fourier, wavelet, principal components, and minimum noise fraction transformations; convolution filters, topographic modeling, image-to-image registration, and ortho-rectification; image fusion; supervised and unsupervised land cover classification with neural networks; hyperspectral analysis; and multivariate change detection.

• Introduces the required mathematical and statistical background—clearly and concisely • Provides in-depth coverage of kernel methods for nonlinear data analysis, including supervised classification with Support Vector Machines • Supplies thorough treatment of multivariate change detection along with efficient software implementations • Keeps pace with the latest versions of the ENVI software environment—IDL 7.0, ENVI 4.4 and beyond • Contains almost twice as many exercises and programming projects at the end of each chapter than the previous edition
