Books
Our leadership in Open Source GIS is highlighted by the book “Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach,” a landmark work that provides a detailed guide to GRASS GIS and demonstrates its powerful capabilities. The book is a key resource that enhances the knowledge and skills of those working in the field of open source GIS.
Book Chapters
My contributions to the scientific literature on open source GIS and environmental modeling include a comprehensive review of open source GIS in the Springer Handbook of Geographic Information (2022), innovative approaches to mapping landscape heterogeneity using satellite imagery (2014), the application of spatial algorithms for estimating landscape diversity from remote sensing data (2012), and insights into environmental modeling using free and open source geospatial tools (2012, 2008). In addition, the book chapters include a detailed exploration of GRASS GIS in geomorphometry (2009) and spatial data handling (2008). These publications reflect a deep understanding and innovative use of open source GIS technologies, contributing significantly to both academic and professional communities.
