Series Statement:
Geotechnologies and the Environment 2
Content:
Examines how Geographic Information Technologies (GIT) are implemented to improve our understanding of a variety of hazard and disaster situations. This book contributes to our understanding of extreme events in urban environments with the use of GIT and expanding its role at the local, regional, state and federal levels
