{"product_id":"a-changing-world-felix-kienast-9789048123902","title":"A Changing World: Challenges for Landscape Research","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape Research is established as an interdisciplinary field dealing with complex environmental processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Modern landscape research uses mathematics, statistics and advanced simulation techniques to combine empirical observations with known theories from ecology, physics, geography, social science and so on. Knowledge is thus updated and quantified via models that are used for estimation, hypothesis testing, prediction and assessment of scenarios. Advances in the computational sciences, space science and biological sciences as well as new perspectives in the social sciences play important roles. Research findings are implemented in conservation management, urban planning and global change mitigation strategies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book identifies emerging fields and new challenges that are discussed within the framework of the 'driving forces' of Landscape Development. Rather than offering a comprehensive overview of all fields of Landscape Research, the book addresses 'hot topics' emphasizing major contemporary trends in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Felix Kienast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9048123909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048123902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Felix Kienast","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930957037823,"sku":"9789048123902","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b8a0ad7-fc61-4bcf-95d4-f3f50060515b.jpg?v=1766345461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-changing-world-felix-kienast-9789048123902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
