描述 | The 16 contributions to .Geographical Information Systems inAssessing. .Natural Hazards. report on GIS investigations intolandslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and groundwaterpollution hazards. Current methods for predicting extreme events arecritically discussed, the emphasis being on the intrinsic complexityof this type of operation, requiring many spatial data, longhistorical records and sound models of the physical processesinvolved. Within this context, the potentials and limitations of GISare addressed in terms of data acquisition, spatial data structuresand modelling for simulation of the causal phenomena. ..Geographic Information Systems in Assessing Natural Hazards. willhelp investigators in both public and private institutions to evaluatethe actual effectiveness of GIS in coping with natural disasters, andto develop new strategies for projects aimed at the assessment andmitigation of the effects of such catastrophic events. . |
