 Advances in Spatial and Temporal Databases: 11th International Symposium, SSTD 2009
This
volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International
Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases, SSTD 2009, held in
Aalborg, Denmark, in July 2009. The 20 revised full papers presented
together with three keynotes, seven short papers, and 10 demonstration
papers, were thoroughly reviewed and selected from a total of 62
research submissions and 11 demonstration submissions. The papers are
organized in topical sections on spatial and flow networks, integrity
and security, uncertain data and new technologies, indexing and
monitoring moving objects, advanced queries, as well as on models and
languages. From Springer, 2009.
 Global Geodetic Observing System: Meeting the Requirements of a Global Society on a Changing Planet
With
the provision of accurate reference frames and observations of changes
in Earth's shape, gravity field and rotation, modern geodesy takes a
fundamental role for improved understanding of geodynamics, geohazards,
the global water cycle, global change, atmosphere and ocean dynamics,
and it supports many societal applications that depend on accurate
positions. The book provides a comprehensive overview of geodesy's
contribution to science and society at large, and it identifies user
needs and requirements in terms of geodetic observations and products.
Specifications for a global geodetic observing system that would meet
these requirements lead to considerations of system design and
implementation. From Springs, 2009. 
Archaeological Prospecting and Remote Sensing
First published in 1990, Archaeological Prospecting and Remote Sensing
surveys some of the highly ingenious non-destructive methods for
detecting and mapping remains of ancient cultures that have vanished
from the modern surface. Techniques include low-level air photography,
magnetic, thermal, electric, and electromagnetic geophysical
prospecting. A mathematical analysis of the phenomena and measurements
is given together with the techniques for interpretation of results
using computerized image processing. Archaeological prospecting used
with image processing has emerged as a universal tool. The aim is to
build a visual geographic system available for use by conservationists,
historians and scientists alike. From Cambridge University Press, 2009.

Microsoft and IDV Solutions at Work for the Enterprise (registration required)
Directions Media Webinar Series -
Sponsored by Microsoft
The
Virtual Earth platform - now Bing Maps for Enterprise - is a critical
component of the Microsoft geospatial story, enabling public sector
agencies to serve up data in a manner that allows users to better
visualize, understand and ultimately to act on them in a more timely
fashion, while simultaneously cutting costs and delivering clear value
to their constituencies. Visual Fusion from IDV Solutions combines with
Bing Maps, SharePoint and other Microsoft technologies to create a
visual mashup platform, empowering organizations to unite data from
otherwise incompatible sources - enterprise data stores, Web feeds,
spreadsheets and more - into rapidly-built, interactive and
collaborative applications that provide a single view of the data.
