Environmental Geocomputation with R  and its companion Laboratory Manual form a comprehensive educational package for geospatial data analysis. The textbook establishes theoretical foundations for visualization and modeling using both object-based and continuous field approaches, addressing spatial uncertainties while integrating spatial context into environmental analyses. The Lab Manual... Read more

Biography

Dr. Marcelo de Carvalho Alves is a professor of Remote Sensing and Geoprocessing at the Federal University de Lavras, Brazil. He received his PhD in 2006 in Agricultural Engineering from the Federal University of Lavras, Brazil. He has published in topography, remote sensing, and geoprocessing. He has over 25 years of extensive experience in data science, digital image processing and modeling using multiscale, multidisciplinary, multispectral and multitemporal concepts applied to different environments. Experimental field-sites include a tropical forest, savanna, wetland, and agricultural fields in Brazil. Over the years, he has built up a large portfolio of research grants mostly relating to agroecosystem management, broadly in the context of vegetation, soil, water, atmosphere, climate, and pest-organisms.
