Web-GIS for the solution of tasks of the ecologo-geographical analysis and modeling: new opportunities

Abstract

This paper presents prospects and challenges using Web-GIS for solving ecological and geographical analysis and modelling. Presented is a working prototype of a Web-GIS created by the authors with the possibility of collaboration as an example of determining the potential spread of ragweed in North Eurasia. The prototype here presented allows us to solve tasks of the raster analysis and modelling under the shell of Internet browsers. Refs 27. Figs 10.
