Book Description: Analyzing Geospatial Resource Data brings together
underlying concepts of map analysis with concise examples and hands-on
experience in analyzing natural resource data.
This book will help readers understand the nature of geo-spatial
resource data and the concepts, procedures and considerations used in
investigating spatial relationships. Case
studies for a series of project areas are used to clearly illustrate the wealth
of emerging analytical capabilities available to educators, researchers,
consultants and resource professionals.
