[RS-ecology] Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists book finally available.

[Martin Wegmann]

Dear all,

Our book “Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists – Using Open Source software” 
is now available. 

All practical examples in this book rely on OpenSource software and freely 
available data sets. Quantum GIS (QGIS) is introduced for basic GIS data 
handling, and in-depth spatial analytics and statistics are conducted with the 
software package R. Readers will learn how to apply remote sensing within 
ecological research projects, how to approach spatial data sampling and how to 
interpret remote sensing derived products. We discuss a wide range of 
statistical analyses with regard to satellite data as well as specialised 
topics such as time-series analysis. Extended scripts on how to create 
professional looking maps and graphics are also provided.
