Therefore, this book will be of most interest to those who have already read An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology . This book consists of five exercises covering the practical use of GIS in marine biology using ERSI s ArcGIS® 10.2 GIS software and R statistical software. These exercises are based around integrating GIS and Species Distribution Modelling (SDM), and work through an example of an SDM from processing your survey data, through making raster data layers of environmental variables to constructing an SDM, visualising its predicted spatial distribution and validating its predictive ability. The exercises are designed to be followed in the order they are presented, and work with a specific data set, wh
