Klappentext zu „New Thinking in GIScience “
This book is a collection of seminal position essays by leading researchers on new development in Geographic Information Sciences (GIScience), covering a wide range of topics and representing a variety of perspectives. The authors propose enrichments and extensions to the conceptual framework of GIScience; discuss a series of transformational methodologies and technologies for analysis and modeling; elaborate on key issues in innovative approaches to data acquisition and integration, across earth sensing to social sensing; and outline frontiers in application domains, spanning from natural science to humanities and social science, e.g., urban science, land use and planning, social governance, transportation, crime, and public health, just name a few. The book provides an overview of the strategic directions on GIScience research and development. It will benefit researchers and practitioners in the field who are seeking a high-level reference regarding those directions.

environmental modeling and scenario analysis. His signature work on spatial prediction in soil mapping (digital soil mapping) was showcased at a 2003 U.S. congressional briefing on the role of geographic information science and technology in meeting the nation's scientific, economic, and social needs.
Cuizhen Wang, Ph.D., is a full professor of Geography at University of South Carolina, USA. Her primary research interests are bio-environmental remote sensing and Digital Earth. Specific training and expertise include optical and radar remote sensing, satellite time series, image-based deep learning, small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and a wide spectrum of environmental applications. Dr. Wang's research and education are embraced in Big Earth Data that harmonizes all remotely sensed data of Earth observations to promote environmental health and sustainability. Dr. Wang is the 2020-2021 President of the International Association of Chinese Professionals in Geographic Information Sciences (CPGIS). She is a Council Member of the International Society of Digital Earth, a U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) Subject Matter Expert in Remote Sensing and Image Analysis, and on the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Interagency Drone Users Consortium (SCiDUC).
