We start by giving you a little background on the field, and a survey of the techniques and technology used. We then split the field into its component specialty areas: GIS, remote sensing, elevation data, advanced modeling, and real-time data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will teach you everything you need to know about, Geospatial Analysis from using a particular software package or API to using generic algorithms that can be applied. This book focuses on pure Python whenever possible to minimize compiling platform-dependent binaries, so that you don't become bogged down in just getting ready to do analysis. This book will round out your technical library through handy recipes that will give you a good understanding of a field that supplements many a modern day human endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomate Geospatial analysis workflows using Python\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode the simplest possible GIS in 60 lines of Python\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMold thematic maps with Python tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet hold of the various forms that geospatial data comes in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduce elevation contours using Python tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate flood inundation models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply Geospatial analysis to find out about real-time data tracking and for storm chasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are a Python developer, researcher, or analyst who wants to perform Geospatial, modeling, and GIS analysis with Python, then this book is for you.
