Although GIS provides powerful functionality for spatial analysis, data overlay, and storage, these spatially oriented systems lack the ability to represent temporal dynamics. However, rapid development of computing technology in recent years has made real-time spatial analysis and real-time data visualization realizable. Based on newly developed methods, Surface Modeling: High Accuracy and High Speed Methods explores solutions to big-error and slow-efficiency problems, two critical challenges that have long plagued those working in with geographical information system (GIS) and computer-aided design (CAD). By developing high accuracy and high speed methods for surface modeling, the book:
Alfredo Huete
• Builds a bridge between the mathematicaloriented theory of surface modeling and the user-oriented application • Examines a novel method of high accuracy surface modeling (HASM) in terms of the fundamental theorem of surfaces • Analyzes the coefficient matrix and develops an adaptive method of HASM (HASM-AM), a multi-grade method of HASM (HASM-MG), and an adjustment method of HASM (HASM-AD) • Uses numerical tests and real world studies to demonstrate that HASM-AM, HASM-MG, and HASM-AD have highly accelerated computational speed, especially for simulations with huge computational work The book discusses a HASM-based method for dynamic simulation (HASM-FDS), and then applies HASM methods to simulate terrains, climate change, ecosystem change, land cover, and soil properties. It demonstrates HASM's potential for simulating population distribution, human carrying capacity, ecosystem services, ecological diversity, change detection, and wind velocity. The book concludes with a discussion of the problems that exist in surface modeling on a global level. Catalog no.

Visualizing Data Patterns with Micromaps Daniel B. Carr George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA
Linda Williams Pickle StatNet Consulting, LLC., Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA
This full-color book explores the design variations and applications of micromaps, which link statistical information to an organized set of small maps. It illustrates the three main types of micromaps (linked, conditioned, and comparative) and summarizes the cognitive research and statistical thinking behind these designs. The book then explains the specific design elements and applications of each of the main micromap designs. The final chapter applies all three of these techniques to the same demographic data for Louisiana before and after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Supplementary resources are available on the book’s website
