V Lakshmanan, Data Science on the Google Cloud Platform, O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2017. ISBN: 9781491974551
Learn how easy it is to apply sophisticated statistical and machine learning methods to real-world problems when you build on top of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This hands-on guide shows developers entering the data science field how to implement an end-to-end data pipeline, using statistical and machine learning methods and tools on GCP. Through the course of the book, you’ll work through a sample business decision by employing a variety of data science approaches. Follow along by implementing these statistical and machine learning solutions in your own project on GCP, and discover how this platform provides a transformative and more collaborative way of doing data science. You’ll learn how to:

V. Lakshmanan, Automating the Analysis of Spatial Grids: A Practical Guide to Data Mining Geospatial Images for Human and Environmental Applications. Springer, 2012. ISBN: 978-94-007-4074-7.
The aim of this book is for readers to be able to devise and implement automated techniques to extract information from spatial grids such as radar, satellite or high-resolution satellite imagery or from any data is that can be placed on a spatial grid.The book is based off a course that I taught in Spring 2011 at the University of Oklahoma to a diverse group of graduate students from Computer Science, Meteorology and Environmental Engineering. It should be suitable as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students.
Even though the material developed out of a graduate course, this book is targeted primarily at practitioners i.e. people who need to solve a problem and are looking for ways to address it. Hence, the book forgoes detailed descriptions of theory and mathematical development in favor of more practical issues of implementation.
A software implementation in the Java programming language is included for nearly all the techniques discussed in this book.

This is an edited volume of contributed papers that arose out of Climate Informatics 2014. I was program chair of this conference, and this was the first year that we were able to put together such a collection of papers representing the state of the science.
