GIS and the Environment:
why we need 3D dynamic GIS
-
Monitoring the state of earth systems produces
massive amounts of spatio-temporal data
-
Spatio-temporal analysis aims at identifying
the problem areas, trends and risks
-
Modeling and simulation predicts impacts of
natural and anthropogenic processes, based on numerical models (often dynamic and 3D)
-
Planning and decision support provides information and tools for management of natural
and socio-economic resources
