Maps, remote sensing imagery, and geographic information systems(GIS) have become increasingly important in providing essentialdata for solving problems related to ground water contamination,water resources management, construction, land use, wastemanagement, minerals exploration, transportation routing, andenvironmental site characterization. STP 1126 is a valuableresource for those who are considering using these three elements,as well as for advanced users.

26 peer-review papers cover standardization, and applications(general technology; soil and geologic engineering; and groundwater and environment). The papers, written by an interdisciplinaryand international group of engineers and scientists, provide: amultidiscipline overview of applications; professional discussionsand commentary on applications, including successful (as well asunsuccessful) case histories; and an understanding of needs anddirections for standardization.

For civil engineers, environmental engineers, scientists, GISprofessionals, photogravmetry and remote sensing specialists, andgeohydrologists. Also for land planners and policy makers usingGIS.
