The increase in public interest on the natural environment can most certainly be attributed to growing public awareness on the impacts of global warming and climate change. "Representing, Modeling, and Visualizing the Natural Environment" contains contributions from recognized experts and addresses crucial research questions pertaining to how the natural environment should be visually represented. The book considers the interplay between data representation, modeling, and visualization in environmental studies and reviews state-of-the-art GIS applications for the natural environment. The authors also identify emerging future research directions.
