Paperback / softback

Description

Geographic Information Science (GIScience) is the knowledgebase that supports the exploration and analysis of geospatial data.

In Geographic Information Science: Introductory Concepts & Applications, the authors have designed an introductory textbook that uses language that is student-friendly to those outside the discipline of geography to emphasize the basic theoretical concepts supporting this knowledgebase.

In a series of chapters, the authors present topics related to cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), and remote sensing, using an historical perspective as the link that ties the technologies both to each other and to GIScience.

Each topic is paired with a laboratory exercise that familiarizes students with the hands-on application of methods used to acquire, store, represent, analyze and interpret geospatial data.

The laboratory exercises were designed using Purdue University's MultiSpec and ESRI's ArcGIS Pro.
