Books

QGIS and Applications in Agriculture and Forest by Nicolas Baghdadi (Editor); Clément Mallet (Editor); Mehrez Zribi (Editor)
Call Number: eBook
ISBN: 9781786301888
Publication Date: 2018-03-07
Our four volumes propose to present innovative thematic applications implemented using the open source software QGIS. These are applications that use remote sensing over continental surfaces. The four volumes detail applications of remote sensing over continental surfaces, with a first one discussing applications for agriculture. A second one presents applications for forest, a third presents applications for the continental hydrology, and finally the last volume details applications for environment and risk issues.
