The Symposium on Spatial Methods for the Solution of Environmental and Hydrologic Problems: Science, Policy, and Standardization – Implications for Environmental Decisions was sponsored by ASTM International Committee D-18 on Soil and Rock, in cooperation with ASTM committees D-34 on Waste Management, E-47 on Biological Effects and Environmental Fate, and E-50 on Environmental Assessment in January, 2001. This publication contains the proceedings from that symposium.
Major session topics for the symposium were Modeling and Spatial Analysis of Environmental and Hydrologic Systems, Accuracy and Uncertainty in Spatial Data and Analysis, and Standardization and Standard Digital Data. The papers in this STP are grouped into the following sections:
- Geospatial Data Development and Integration
- Modeling Environmental and Hydrologic Systems
- Spatial and Temporal Integration and Validations of Data
- Addressing Issues of Uncertainty and Risk in Geospatial Application
- Development of Standard Data Sets
- National Data
- Specific topics covered by the papers contained in this publication include:
- geostatistics
- Environmental Technology Verification (ETV)
- Monte Carlo simulation
- geographic information systems (GIS)
- global positioning system (GPS)
- geodetic surveying
- vertical control
- Satellite Based Standardized Terrain Maps
- Integrated Water Resources Management System (IWRMS)
- integration of data management
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
- soil water content
- electromagnetic surveys
- global soil moisture
- global climate change
This information in the STP would be of interest to professionals using GIS and GPS technology or working on improvements and enhancements to GIS and SPS systems.
