Spatial analysis of coastal enviroments
At the convergence of the land and sea, coastal enviromental are some of the most dynamic and populated places on earth. with the many challenges facing shorelines today, including rising sea levels, increased stroms and cylones, and coastal development, spatial analysis brings valuable insight towards understanding this unique zone. this book shows how the many varied forms of spatial analysis, including mapping, monitoring and modelling, can be applied to a range of coastal enviroments, such as estuaries, mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs. presenting approaches to modelling, wich draw on recent developments in remote sensing technology, geographical information science and spatial statistics, provides the analytical tools to map, monitor and explain or predict coastal features. with detailed case studies and accompanying online practical exercises, it is an ideal resource for undergraduate courses in spatial science. taking a board view of spatial analysis and geostatistics, it is also a useful reference for ecologists, geomorphologists, geographers and modellers interested in understanding coastal enviroments.
