More Description'GIS for Earth Surface Systems' illustrates the application of GIS techniques in solving problems of physical geography. The editors found it important to have the book cover the entire process of data transformation and analysis: theory, methods used, data collection techniques, culminating in the selection the best suited GIS technique for the specific purpose, rather than limiting themselves to a discussion of only GIS technologies. The research projects described in this volume were carried out under the aegis of the GIS working group of the Association of German Geographers (Arbeitskreis GIS der DGfG), established to investigate present and future uses and developments of GIS in physical geography.
