地理信息系统专家-Peter Burrough (1944-2009)
|||
Prof. Peter Burrough passed away on 9 January 2009 in Leiden. A well
known pedometrician and GIS expert that has pioneered and advanced
pedometrics research.
Peter Burrough is best known for his landmark book Principles of
Geographical Information Systems for Land Resources Assessment, which
he wrote during his first years at Utrecht University. This book,
first published by Oxford University Press in 1986, was the first
complete textbook about GIS.
Peter’s contributions to pedometrics and the field of GIScience are
reflected in more than 130 peer-reviewed papers and books, and
numerous keynote lectures at international conferences across the
world. In 1981, Peter had his first publication in Nature on the
presence of fractals, scale invariance, in landscapes and in
environmental shapes and processes, subjects that still reverberate
around the literature today. He also brought novel thinking on
concepts such as natural variability, error propagation in spatial
modelling, and fuzzy logic for landscape analysis into the
geographical literature. Peter has also made immense contributions in
recognizing and developing concepts in modelling both the spatial and
temporal domains of the environment.
