Geospatial data, or data with location information, is generated in huge volumes every day by billions of mobile phones, IoT sensors, drones, nanosatellites, and many other sources in an unending stream. This practical ebook introduces you to the landscape of tools and methods for making sense of all that data, and shows you how to apply geospatial analytics to a variety of issues, large and small. Authors Aurelia Moser, Jon Bruner, and Bill Day provide...

Drastic improvements in both access to satellite images and data processing tools today allow near real-time observation of Earth surface deformations. Remote sensing imagery is thus a powerful, reliable and spatially dense source of information that can be used to understand the Earth and its surface manifestations as well as mitigate natural hazards. This book offers for the first time a complete overview of the methodological approaches developed...

Python comes with many libraries and tools that help you work on geoprocessing tasks without investing in expensive tools. This book introduces you to new libraries that perform geospatial and statistical analysis and data management. It uses examples that explain how Python v3 differs from v2, and solve age-old problems in geospatial analysis.

"Never Lost Again chronicles the evolution of mapping technology--the "overnight success twenty years in the making." Bill Kilday takes us behind the scenes of the tech's development, and introduces to the team that gave us not only Google Maps but Google Earth, and most recently, Pokémon GO. He takes us back to the beginning to Keyhole--a cash-strapped startup mapping company started by a small-town Texas boy named John Hanke, that nearly folded...

QGIS 3.4 is a user-friendly open source geographic information system (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows. The book will take you on a journey from firing up QGIS for the first time to developing your own processing pathway. We'll look at the fundamentals of GIS: data creation, data display, creating maps and spatial analysis.
