Geographic information systems (GISs) have played a vital role in Earth sciences by providing a powerful means of observing the world and various tools for solving complex problems. The scientific community has used GISs to reveal fascinating details about the Earth and other planets. This book on recent advances in GIS for Earth sciences includes 12 publications from esteemed research groups worldwide. The research and review papers in this book belong to the following broad categories: Earth science informatics (geoinformatics), mining, hydrology, natural hazards, and society.

Research & information: general --- mine safety --- GIS-coupled --- spatiotemporal model --- LBM --- methane gas emission --- traffic flows --- taxi trajectory --- float cars --- spatial community --- transport system --- land use --- multi-functionality --- production-living-ecology function --- spatiotemporal dynamics --- obstacle factors --- Xiangxi --- DEM grid cell size --- efficiency --- mountainous watersheds --- optimized parameter set --- TOPMODEL --- social media --- rainstorm event --- spatiotemporal analysis --- factor assessing --- parallel algorithm --- map overlay analysis --- Hilbert ordering decomposition --- spatial analysis --- GIS vector map data --- GIS vector map security --- selective encryption --- simplification method and cryptography --- geo-sensor framework --- geo-sensor platform (GIS) --- sensor networks --- do-it-yourself (DIY) --- landslide susceptibility mapping --- ensemble techniques --- functional trees --- bagging --- rotation forest --- dagging --- algorithm --- cognition --- computer languages --- eye-tracking measurement --- gaze tracking --- human-computer interaction --- open source software --- symbols --- visualisation --- Geographic information systems --- mine planning --- mine development --- mine operation --- environmental management --- mine reclamation --- Indian Himalayas --- landslides --- GIS --- remote sensing
