Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists: Using Open Source Software Wegmann MartinPaperback
This is a book about how ecologists can integrate remote sensing and GIS in their daily work. Using practical examples, the book covers all necessary steps from planning field campaigns to deriving ecologically relevant information through remote sensing and modelling of species distributions.All practical examples in this book rely on OpenSource software and freely available data sets. It will allow ecologists to get started with the application of remote sensing and to understand its potential and limitations.
The authors discuss a wide Quantum GIS (QGIS) is introduced for basic GIS data handling, and in-depth spatial analytics and statistics are conducted with the software packages R and GRASS.Readers will learn how to apply remote sensing within ecological research projects, how to approach spatial data sampling and how to interpret remote sensing derived products.
