A state-of-the-art review and feasibility analysis of high altitude wind power in Northern Ireland -- Assimilation of remotely sensed soil moisture and vegetation with a crop simulation model for maize yield prediction -- A collaborative (Web-Gis) framework based on empirical data collected form three case studies in Europe for risk management of hydro-meteorological hazards -- Evaluating Landsat 8 evapotranspiration for water use mapping in the Colorado river basin -- Water observations from space: mapping surface water from 25 years of Landsat I Magery across Australia -- The impact of climate change on the levelised cost of wind energy -- Frontiers of urbanization: identifying and explaining urbanization hot spots in the South of Mexico City using human and remote sensing -- A national coastal erosion susceptibility model for Scotland -- Leveraging the power of place in citizen science for effective conservation decision making -- Spatially explicit life cycle assessment: opportunities and challenges of wastewater-based algal biofuels in the United States.

Summary: "The use of Geographic Information Systems in Environmental Management has seen unprecedented growth in the last ten years. While the expanding of GIS system memories, researchers can handle much larger geographic environment data. As more and more GIS application cases used in environmental - related research works, this technology has been developed and improved as well. Geographic information systems provide a great deal of information and analytical capacity for people's understanding of how human’s activities impact on the environment . In this book, topics covered land use sustainability, natural resources management and planning, novel modelling methods for environment and geography, environmental management assessment tools and decision-making approaches. Research areas in this book included Europe, North America and East Asia."--Back cover
