Understanding and predicting the behaviour of natural and human environmental systems is crucial for the effective management of the Earth’s limited resources. Recently, great advances have been made through spatial modelling. This book provides a snapshot of the latest research in modelling technologies and methodologies within five environmental fields; the cryosphere, hydrology, geomorphology, vegetation interfaces and urban environments. Spatial Modelling of the Terrestrial Environment deals with the use of remote sensing, numerical models and GIS in addressing important natural and human environmental sciences issues, focusing on the theory and application of modelling remotely sensed data within the context of environmental processes. Extensive case material exemplifies the latest research and modelling paradigms presented in the book.

Richard E. J. Kelly is the editor of Spatial Modelling of the Terrestrial Environment, published by Wiley. Nicholas A. Drake is the editor of Spatial Modelling of the Terrestrial Environment, published by Wiley. Stuart L. Barr is the editor of Spatial Modelling of the Terrestrial Environment, published by Wiley.
