Environmental Geocomputation with R: Textbook and Lab Manual

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 reinforces these concepts through practical exercises and case studies that follow a structured scientific workflow.Together, they enable students to progressively build skills in geocomputational techniques using R and its packages, from basic principles to complex real-world applications. FeaturesExplains the theory and applications of geocomputational methods for solving environmental problems involving spatial data and analysis. Covers big data, machine learning, methods for pattern recognition in spatial data, and tools and data analytics in the free and open-source (FOSS) R platform, making them ac
