Contents:

1. Introduction -- 2. Taxonomy of environmental models in the spatial sciences -- 3. New environmental remote sensing systems -- 4. Geographic data for environmental modelling and assessment -- 5. The biosphere: a global perspective -- 6. Vegetation mapping and monitoring -- 7. Application of remote sensing and geographic information systems in wildlife mapping and modelling -- 8. Biodiversity mapping and modelling -- 9. Approaches to spatially distributed hydrological modelling in a GIS environment -- 10. Remote sensing and geographic information systems for natural disaster management -- 11. Land use planning and environmental impact assessment using geographic information systems -- 12. Environmental modelling: issues and discussion.

Summary: Government agencies and private companies invest significant resources in the use of geographical data. With improved capabilities and potential performance of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), the data available for analysis outstrip the abilities of managers and analysts to use and analyze the information. Environmental Modeling with GIS and Remote Sensing derives from a training course run by ITC for professionals and managers in the environmental sciences, detailing the applications of remote sensing and GIS for environmental modeling and assessment. It sets out the current research results and provides operational methods for environmental mapping and monitoring
