Pages : 95
Book Description
Geoscience Australia and the Australian Bureau of Agricultrual and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) have developed a Dynamic Land Cover Dataset (DLCD) for Australia. The DLCD will allow land managers and decision makers to move beyond snapshot land cover observations ... This report describes the DLCD, how the dataset was generated, presents a cmparison of the DLCD with independent datasets and examples of how the DLCD classification can be used to analyse trends in the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and other data sources. The report also compares the DLCD approach to other National and International land cover mapping approaches--P. 1.

Book Description
This open access book represents a comprehensive review of available land-use cover data and techniques to validate and analyze this type of spatial information. The book provides the basic theory needed to understand the progress of LUCC mapping/modeling validation practice. It makes accessible to any interested user most of the research community's methods and techniques to validate LUC maps and models. Besides, this book is enriched with practical exercises to be applied with QGIS. The book includes a description of relevant global and supra-national LUC datasets currently available. Finally, the book provides the user with all the information required to manage and download these datasets.

Trends in Spatial Analysis and Modelling
Author: Martin BehnischPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319525220
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
This book is a collection of original research papers that focus on recent developments in Spatial Analysis and Modelling with direct relevance to settlements and infrastructure. Topics include new types of data (such as simulation data), applications of methods to support decision-making, and investigations of human-environment data in order to recognize significance for structures, functions and processes of attributes. Research incorporated ranges from theoretical through methodological to applied work. It is subdivided into four main parts: the first focusing on the research of settlements and infrastructure, the second studies aspects of Geographic Data Mining, the third presents contributions in the field of Spatial Modelling, System Dynamics and Geosimulation, and the fourth part is dedicated to Multi-Scale Representation and Analysis. The book is valuable to those with a scholarly interest in spatial sciences, urban and spatial planning, as well as anyone interested in spatial analysis and the planning of human settlements and infrastructure. Most of the selected papers were originally presented at the “International Land Use Symposium (ILUS 2015): Trends in Spatial Analysis and Modelling of Settlements and Infrastructure” November 11-13 2015, in Dresden, Germany.
Assessing the economic benefits of sustainable land management practices in Bhutan

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
This study was conducted with the objective of determining the returns to sustainable land management (SLM) at the national level in Bhutan. The study first uses satellite data on land change (Landsat) to examine land use change in 19902010 and its impact on sediment loading in hydroelectric power plants. The study then uses the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to analyze the impact of land use change and land management on sediment loading. The results from the land use change and SWAT analyses are used to assess the economic benefits of SLM.
