Mapping environmental risks: Quantitative and spatial modeling approaches

Journal of Maps, 2014, vol. 10, issue 2, 183-185

Abstract: In recent years, there has been a growing application of advanced methods and techniques such as geographical information systems (GIS), remote sensing and spatial analysis methods in research aimed at understanding, analyzing and visualizing environmental risks. Areas of interest are particularly focused around climate change: the increase in the frequency of extreme weather conditions; the impact of natural disasters; the change to human development make the latter even more relevant. Progress in computer hardware and software allows the application of mathematically complex and computationally intensive methods over relatively small timescales. This special issue of the Journal of Maps is devoted to recent innovations and techniques in the exploitation of mapping and geoinformatics in the field of Environmental Risk Assessment.
