Abstract

Today, GIS continues to evolve rapidly enabled in part by the evolution of competing platform technology, increasing social demands for geographic knowledge and finally by the creative thinking and algorithm development of software engineers. This paper presentation will explore the science and application routes, provide some suggestions of where the technology will evolve and what this means for society in general.

Biodiversity conservation GIS: using geographic information systems to support conservation management decisions
COM.Geo '11: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Computing for Geospatial Research & Applications

Global changes threaten natural ecosystems that are collapsing and even completely disappearing. Their conservation is a priority to halt the biodiversity loss, and is currently assured by conventions and programmes that aim at maintaining and restoring ...
Drought assessment and monitoring through remote sensing and GIS in western tracts of Tamil Nadu, India

Drought is an insidious hazard of nature and is considered to be the most complex but least understood of all natural hazards. Large historical datasets are required to study drought and these involve complex interrelationships between climatological ...
Using GIS to Quantify Mountains in China

Combining a geographic information system's spatial analysis functions and comprehensive fuzzy sets lets researchers evaluate and analyze the ecological suitability of olive tree cultivation in Sichuan, China. Past years' experience in olive planting ...
