Specifically, the book focuses on the technological aspects of the field and their application toward the recruitment of volunteers and the collection, management, and analysis of geotagged information to support volunteer involvement in scientific projects. Internationally renowned research groups share research in three areas: First, the key methods of geoinformatics within citizen science initiatives to support scientists in discovering new knowledge in specific application domains or in performing relevant activities, such as reliable geodata filtering, management, analysis, synthesis, sharing, and visualization; second, the critical aspects of citizen science initiatives that call for emerging or novel approaches of geoinformatics to acquire and handle geoinformation; and third, novel geoinformatics research that could serve in support of citizen science.History of engineering and technologybicssceducationgeoinformaticsGIS educationclassification accuracylatent class analysislocation-based social networks (LBSNs)geoinformation in citizen sciencetoponymrecruitmentcommunity mappinguser preferenceland administration systemspositional accuracysample sizespatial proximitycrowdsourced geoinformation collection and analysisair quality estimationdigital cartographycrowdsourcingVGI in citizen sciencecrowdsourced data collectionsocial relationship effectanalysisGISdata qualityopportunistic datavolunteervolunteered geographic information (VGI)VGIdata fusionalgorithmsOpenStreetMapvolunteer geographic informationcitizen scienceensemblespatial biasprojects surveyAlaskamarine mammalbrown marmorated stink bugsocial mediaEnvironmental niche modelingdata analysisPentatomidaeQGISMaxEntspatial accuracyclusteringair pollutiondata importsky imagesHistory of engineering and technologyBordogna Gloria800559ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346690703321Geoinformatics in Citizen Science3028043UNINA
