Python is used in a wide range of geoscientific applications, such as in processing images for remote sensing, in generating and processing digital elevation models, and in analyzing time series. This book introduces methods of data analysis in the geosciences using Python that include basic statistics for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data sets, time series analysis, and signal processing; the analysis of spatial and directional data; and image analysis. The text includes numerous examples that demonstrate how Python can be used on data sets from the earth sciences. The supplementary electronic material (available online through Springer Link) contains the example data as well as recipes that include all the Python commands featured in the book.

"Various international organizations and individuals have made passionate appeals to governments to empower and draw in various partners in policy formulation and implementation, and activities concerning the climate change crisis. The logic is that learning institutions serve as convenient avenues of promoting climate change education. To confront the impacts of climate change and related environmental issues, individuals must not only be provided with requisite education, but also enhanced awareness to drive such change. Although some effort has been made to offer such knowledge, skills and values, there are existing challenges to realize the anticipated objectives. These include limited understanding of the weather change phenomenon, less effective pedagogical approaches and weak partnerships among the critical stakeholders"--

Eine Blume verführt die Welt - die Geschichte der Rosen Die Rose ist voller Bedeutung. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde sie zum Symbol für Liebe und Sinnlichkeit, Betrug, Tod, die Mutter Gottes und das mystische Unbekannte. Heute erfreut sich die »Königin der Blumen« weltweit ungebrochener Beliebtheit und ist in unsrem Leben allgegenwärtig. Simon Morley verfällt ihr, als er an einem trüben Nachmittag zum ersten Mal die Novemberrosen in den Vorgärten seiner Nachbarschaft entdeckt. Er beginnt nicht nur, verschiedene Arten selbst zu züchten, sondern sich auch in der Kunst und Literatur mit ihnen zu beschäftigen. Vom Rosenkranz bis zu den Bildern von Cy Twombly, vom bulgarischen Rosental bis zum florierenden Handel in Afrika, vom feministischen Manifest (»Brot und Rosen«) bis zum inflationär verschenkten Strauß am Valentinstag, von Shakespeare bis zu ihrem Auftritt in der Popmusik, eindrücklich erzählt Simon Morley von der Rose in ihrer farbenprächtigen Vielfalt und existenziellen Symbolik - und warum sie uns wie keine zweite Blume ans Herz gewachsen ist.

Geography science aims to observe the dynamics in describing earth's surface as a place and space for humans to carry out their lives, starting from simple identification using recording and sketching models, then utilizing tools such as maps, satellite imagery, statistics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In the development of geography science, it is appropriate to explain phenomena of the earth in the present context along with the process of developing science and technology using suitable and effective methods. Physical geography is the branch of natural science that deals with the study of processes and patterns in the natural environment such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. This book covers the methodology of the study for all aspects of physical geography, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere. A comprehensive geography textbook consists of a detailed research methodology for physical geography research including a few selected case studies in Asia. The uniqueness of this book is due to the contribution of several professors and subject experts from South East and East Asia with special particular reference to cases studies from a particular region. This book covered selected methodological approaches for hydrology, climatology and geomorphology including the discovery of the best method for exploring and assessing mysterious physical phenomena using a diversity of methodologies. This book explains the principal concept, basic method, optional method, detailed description of each method, and the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods. The technique of data selection, data acquisition, method of analysis, data interpretation and data analysis techniques with a specific focus on deterministic modeling, geography techniques, geospatial modeling with Geographic Information System (GIS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Automated machine techniques and combination of statistical analysis. This book attempts to explore different approaches, methodological possibilities and challenges in conducting geographical research in physical geography. New digital geographic data sources and GIS applications can help researchers to receive clearer concepts and obtain better measurements of the relevant attributes changes in the physical environment. Opportunity to critically examine the conceptualization and identification of the field in geographical research and how digital media has not only expanded the scope of what constitutes the field but has redefined the field in itself as well as the practices of observing, knowing, and analyzing the real world.

This edited volume focuses on the use of remote sensing techniques to assess and monitor mountainous ecosystems in Africa, with a focus on tracking changes related to climate change and human activity. The book is timely, as the interaction of mountain environmental dynamics with conservation and sustainability is an under-researched issue. The chapters in this volume use remotely sensed data to study a variety of topics related to mountains and their ecosystems, including but not limited to vegetation, energy systems, environmental hazards, ecosystem services, diseases, climatic shifts, geological formations and geomorphological dynamics. The ability to monitor, assess and analyze mountainous regions is aided by the availability of remote sensing products such as optical and microwave sensors and low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The works presented here push the frontier of knowledge on mountain studies and will help shape local, national and global assessments and policies, including efforts toward the achievement of the African Agenda 2063. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in remote sensing, geography, ecology and sustainability, as well as to government organizations and conservation specialists.
