This practical handbook is designed for environmental scientists and consultants seeking to utilise ArcView GIS as a tool for visualising data and modelling hydrologic processes. Topics explored include watershed topography and terrain analysis; soils and land use analysis; wetlands and lake studies; geologic mapping; and environmental pollution. No previous experience using ArcView GIS is required. Each chapter contains tips and techniques for using ArcView GIS to solve site-scale analysis problems, including scanning and registering aerial photographs; using GPS with ArcView; environmentally relevant geospatial statistics; and how to lay out and print large-scale professional quality maps for environmental reporting.
The companion CD contains a time-out version of ArcView GIS, sample data sets, and Avenue scripts.
