The use of GIS in Controlling Global Warming

Research Title

The utility of GIS to identify as well as predict areas most affected by global warming

Statement of Purpose

The study will go in-depth to identify map the areas that are most likely to be affected by climate change and its corresponding effects to the surrounding inhabitant. As such the study will have to identify the social and geographical variables that inform a particular location how they interact and compare them to an area that already suffers from the effects of global warming. This will demand looking at geography from a sociological perspective at the same time approach society geographically.  Man colonizes geography transforming it into a cultural landscape. At the same time, geographies inform the cultures of the inhabitants. Even in the medieval era man subdued their environment through farming. In contemporary society, the modification of the environment has increased in scope and intensity. The above illustrates a vicious cycle the impact of man on geography informs the physical environment’s effect on him. Upon studying certain geography, one can infer on the social problems plaguing the particular locality thus helping towards formulating a solution. As one can decipher that high crime is associated with congested neighborhood. The study will attempt to identify the correlation between social ills and geography. Geospatial information system can be utilized to resolve social problems. The origins of spatial analysis are informed by man’s attempt to alleviate social problems, the mapping of cholera outbreaks near water sources. The key geographical phenomenon that is undermining human cultures is climatic change. The study will strive to highlight the mutual destruction caused to both humans and environment by global warming
