Role of GIS in Lifting the Cloud Off Chernobyl (NATO Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences)
The 15th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster offered a timely opportunity for an expert assessment of the current situation and suggestions for approaches to managing the information associated with the site and surrounding contaminated territories. The great quantity of data coming from the contaminated region was and is very difficult to use without he aid of modern information technologies, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). Application of these technologies, and related expertise, became crucial to the region's economic recovery and sustainability planning. Given the real possibility of a similar accident at nuclear facilities elsewhere around the world, the development of recovery strategies based on experience gained at Chernobyl, using modern scientific methods and technologies, will be invaluable in the future. The presentations and discussion reported in the book have led to some key conclusions. Image maps derived fr.. 
Intelligent Spatial Decision Support Systems (Advances in Spatial Science)
This book lays a foundation on the conceptual, theoretical, system-development, and application perspectives of intelligent spatial decision support systems. Departing from conventional approaches that only concentrate on model-data integration, the author places emphasis on the artificial intelligence approach to spatial decision support. In addition to the employment of models, it is argued that systems that can perform commonsense reasoning are of paramount importance in spatial decision support. Fundamental concepts of knowledge representation and inference in spatial decision support systems are investigated. Both the symbolic and distributed approaches are examined. Automatic knowledge acquisition by genetic algorithms is discussed... Remote Sensing for Geologists
Remote Sensing for Geologists: A Guide to Image Interpretation covers technology and processing techniques as they directly relate to interpreting imagery. This book is a manual of image interpretation that demonstrates what to look for on imagery when engaged in mineral or hydrocarbon exploration, mine and oil field development, engineering projects, and environmental monitoring. Four sections comprise this volume: project initiation; exploration techniques; exploitation and engineering remote sensing; and environmental concerns. They combine to provide you with a solid foundation of what image interpretation is, and enables you to recognize features of interest and effectively use imagery in projects for the petroleum, mining, or groundwater industries...

Information Fusion and Geographic Information Systems: Proceedings of the Third International Workshop (Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography)
Workshop Proceedings introduce research results received in the areas of information integration, development of GIS and GIS-applications for a wide spectrum of information systems varying considerably in purpose and scale. The new class of GIS - intelligent GIS - is considered, including principles of their building and programming technologies. Special attention is drawn to ontologies development and their use in GIS and GIS-applications... Saturday, May 21, 2011
