Book Description

This book describes the basic contents of eco-environmental informatics (EEI) systematically. It consists of ten chapters: development history of the groundworks of knowledge, data and models for the EEI emergence since the early 1850s, the core principles of EEI including methods for high-accuracy surface modelling and the fundamental theorem for eco-environmental surface modelling, spatial interpolations, scale-transformations, data fusion, and model-data assimilation, as well as their applications connecting ecology, environmental science, and geographical science.

Intended Audience

It is used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the field of EEI. It also serves as a reference book for researchers involved in geographical information science, ecological informatics, environmental informatics, computer-aided design, and planetary surface modelling.
