environmental mapping  

Definition

  • The process of collecting and visualizing spatially referenced data about our environment is referred to as environmental mapping. Environmental mapping does not refer only to an end product, such as a map of deforestation, but to the whole process of acquiring, preprocessing, storing/archiving, analyzing, and finally displaying information about our physical environment (Figure 1).
