“…This further cements the power of visualisation to handle information for knowledge discovery purposes (Jiang and Li, 2005). Today"s geovisualization technologies provide many advanced options, with users able to explore spatial data using multiple views and techniques to compile maps with full control over graphic variables and display (Jones et al, 2009). One example is the animation visualization tool developed by Rieke and Labade (2004) for the analysis of impacts of river operations on habitats of endangered species.…”

“…For example, studies of biodiversity related issues have often focused on land cover change as this is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Hence land cover has also been a central variable in studies of biodiversity conservation (Duro et al, 2007;Gillespie et al, 2008;Jones et al, 2009;Haines-Young, 2009). Remote sensing and GIS have the potential to make important contributions to biodiversity conservation.…”

This article provides an overview of some of the recent research in ecological informatics involving remote sensing and GIS. Attention focuses on a selected range of issues including topics such as the nature of remote sensing data sets, issues of accuracy and uncertainty, data visualization and sharing activities as well as developments in aspects of ecological modeling research. It is shown that considerable advances have been made over recent years and foundations for future research established. BackgroundGeotechnology has been couched as one of the three "mega-technologies" of the 21 st century, along with nanotechnology and biotechnology (Gewin, 2004). On the cusp of the second decade of the 21 st century it is evident that recent developments in the geotechnologies of Geographic Information Science (GIS) and remote sensing have had a substantial impact on ecological research, providing spatial data and associated information to enable the further understanding of ecological systems (Rundell et al., 2009). In a digital society there is sometimes an expectation that information is just a click away and this may apply to spatial information in the domain of ecological informatics. Indeed, it has been in the last five years that developments in and relating to the fields of GIS and remote sensing, such as those seen in internet technologies (e.g., Web 2.0; high performance communication networks; Brunt et al., 2007), sensing technology (e.g., quantum well infrared photodetectors; Krabach, 2000), data standards and interoperability (e.g., OGC® KML 2.2) and spatially explicit modeling (e.g., Osborne et al., 2007), have resulted in the revelation of previously unobservable phenomena and posing of what might be termed second generation of ecological questions. During this time we have also seen more support for the open exchange of data and software and infrastructure for location based services. This paper serves as a review of some of the recent developments in GIS and remote sensing that have been or promises to be of benefit to ecological informatics. The subjects addressed are necessarily selective and limited in scope, drawing on topics of interest to us and, we hope, to you.

“…Committee, 2003;Howard, Blick, & McNamara, 2009;Stoter, 2005), relatively few descriptions and evaluations of static or interactive map production processes have made their way into the academic literature (e.g. Behrens, Elzakker, & Schmidt, 2015;Davies, 1998;Duchêne, Christophe, & Ruas, 2011;Jones, Haklay, Griffiths, & Vaughan, 2009;Roth et al, 2014). User studies also are needed for the design and evaluation of geocollaborative interfaces for managing role-based tasks and responsibilities during cartographic production and use Sidlar & Rinner, 2009).…”

The possibility of digital interactivity requires us to reenvision the map reader as the map user, and to address the perceptual, cognitive, cultural, and practical considerations that influence the user's experience with interactive maps and visualizations. In this article, we present an agenda for empirical research on this user and the interactive designs he or she employs. The research agenda is a result of a multi-stage discussion among international scholars facilitated by the International Cartographic Association that included an early round of position papers and two subsequent workshops to narrow into pressing themes and important research opportunities. The focus of our discussion is epistemological and reflects the wide interdisciplinary influences on user studies in cartography. The opportunities are presented as imperatives that cross basic research and user-centered design studies, and identify practical impediments to empirical research, emerging interdisciplinary recommendations to improve user studies, and key research needs specific to the study of interactive maps and visualizations.

“…WebGIS works as a communication tool among experts and non-experts [121] and helps non-experts understand the geospatial context in areas of their interests. These functions of WebGIS can be applied to understand risks to allow communities to better prepare and respond to them [122,123].…”

Due to the fact that geospatial information technology is considered necessary for disaster risk management (DRM), the need for more effective collaborations between providers and end users in data delivery is increasing. This paper reviews the following: (i) schemes of disaster risk management and collaborative data operation in DRM; (ii) geospatial information technology in terms of applications to the schemes reviewed; and (iii) ongoing practices of collaborative data delivery with the schemes reviewed. This paper concludes by discussing the future of collaborative data delivery and the progress of the technologies.
