Biography

Dr. Robert J. Abrahart is an associate professor of geographical information science in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham, UK. He is a computational geographer with specialist interests in neural network modeling and hydroinformatics.

Dr. Linda M. See is a research scholar in the Ecosystems Services Management Program at the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria. Her research interests include the application of artificial intelligence and computational geography to a range of geographical problems in the human and physical domains.

"A useful mix of classical and novel summaries covering the wide breadth of geocomputational issues. This updated version of the original volume based on the groundbreaking 1996 conference is a ‘must have’ for those in this field."
—A Stewart Fotherington, Director, Centre for Geoinformatics, University of St. Andrews

"… timely statement of the state-of-the-art of this flourishing field … The selection of chapter topics and authors has been done very well indeed. In a nutshell, this is the perfect new volume for the experienced researcher’s shelf and a ‘must have’ for post-graduates looking for a foothold."
—Brian Lees, University of NSW, Canberra

"I welcome this second edition of this seminal book on GeoComputation. … brings us right up-to-date and it is a must-have volume for all students and researchers interested in handling geographical data."
—P.M. Atkinson
