Synopsis

This book is unique as it tailored specifically the local researchers' studies that manifest the use of geo information technologies in oceanography for Malaysian seas. Sharing seas with other Asian countries entail Malaysia to strengthen the research in oceanography for the benefits of regional community. Moreover, in the era of climate change, there is a critical demand for continuous and real time ocean observation and monitoring. Hence, formulation of strategies and actions to adapt, monitor and mitigate the climate change impact at international, regional and national levels are on the horizon. The advancement of geoinformation technologies including remote sensing, geomatics and Geographic Information Science (GIS) and big data infrastructure have pushed the boundary that allow scientists to accurately model and predict various phenomena. Technologies for supporting data acquisition, management, analysis, modelling and forecasting related to ocean and seas at larger and local scales are now feasible without destructing the nature. The ten chapters in this book cover a wide range of topics from the recent satellite technologies for monitoring the ocean to spatial modelling of Malaysian seas and connecting oceanography data in big data infrastructure. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic which can be understood on its own. This book will be beneficial for passionate readers including students, researchers as well as environmentalist.
