Dear All,
The following books which I have authored about
using GIS in marine biological research are now available (they were released
between September 2013 and February 2014), and which I hope will be of interest
to those working in conservation biology, whether in the marine environment or
elsewherey:
1. An
Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology (2nd Edition) - RRP £44.99:
This book provides an introdution to using GIS in marine biological research, as
well as a 'How To ...' guide for over 100 tasks which marine biologists are
likely to need to be able to do on a regular basis, and it has now been updated
for users of ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2 software from ESRI. ISBN:
978-0-9568974-6-6.
2. An
Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook One - Making
Maps Of Species Distribution (2nd Edition) - RRP £19.99: This book
provides five practical exercises based around mapping the distribution of
species and it has now been updated for users of ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2 software
from ESRI. ISBN: 978-0-9568974-3-5.
3. An
Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook Two - Working
With Raster Data Layers - RRP 19.99: This book provides five practical
exercises based using raster data layers in marine biological research using
ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2 software from ESRI. ISBN:
978-0-9568974-2-8.
4. An
Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook Three -
Integrating GIS And Species Distribution Modelling - RRP 19.99: This
book provides five practical exercises which take the reader through all the
steps required to conduct a successful species distribution modelling (SDM)
project starting with processing the raw survey data through to linking it with
environmental variables, exporting the information for analysis in a statistical
package, creating a spatial visualisation of the predicted distribution from an
SDM and validating its predictive ability. These exercises use ArcGIS 10.1/10.2
software from ESRI, and R statistical software. ISBN: 978-1-909832-02-2.
NOTE: If you do one of the GIS In Ecology 'Introduction
To Species Distribution Modelling In The Marine Environment' courses, you will
receive a free copy of this book.
5. An
Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook Four -
Analysing Home Ranges Of Individual Animals - RRP 19.99: This book
provides five practical exercises based using examining the home ranges of
individual animals, including creating minimum convex polygons (MCPs), and
kernel density estimates (KDEs) in environments with and without barriers to
movement using ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2 software from ESRI. ISBN:
978-0-9568974-5-9.
6. An
Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology Supplementary Workbook Five -
Creating Maps For Reports And Publications - RRP 19.99: This book
provides five practical exercises whicvh show how to make high quality maps for
inclusion in reports, presentationns and publications using ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2
software from ESRI. This includes creating maps with inserts, creating multipart
maps, creating map templates for a specific project to allow you to quickly
generate customised and consistent maps for a specific project, and creating
style files to allow you to apply consistent legends across multiple data
layers. ISBN: 978-1-909832-03-9.
These
books can be purchased from Amazon or directly from GIS In
Ecology.
All the
best,
Colin
