Responsible and successful environmental management is necessary for protecting and restoring the natural environment. The interdependency of the earth’s ecosystems and the human impact on the environment present complex challenges to governments and businesses as well as scientists and environmentalists in every discipline. Geospatial Technologies are being used to support and deliver information to environmental managers and the public. These technologies allow the combination and analysis of multiple layers of location-based data including environmental measurements. The environmental application areas of GIS are varied in terms of potential users, environmental spheres, and the specific environmental issue being investigated. This seminar would focus on:
-
Geospatial technologies for Environmental Management and Natural Resources Management
- Success Stories/ Case Studies
- Challenges experienced
- Way Forward for geospatial applications in Environmental Management
