This new publication is an international collection of papers from the CoastGIS 2005 Symposium and Exhibition hosted by the University of Aberdeen at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre in July 2005. Together they representa selected and up-to-date overview of some of the main areas of research intothe application of the geospatial technologies, including Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, Digital Mapping, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), databases, Internet technology, and mobile field data collection andmapping, to coastal and marine environments around the World. Aimed at the researcher, editor, practitioner and student this volume seeks to expand the available literature in a rapidly expanding and evolving area of interest, namelythe coastal and marine environment. The book comes at a time when there is growing concern about global warming, climate change, and sea level rise, all ofwhich will have an impact upon coastal areas around the World.
