Remote Sensing in Earth Systems Sciences - Call for Papers: Remote Sensing in Geographical Information Science for Sustainable Environment
In geographical information, people, places, and activities are connected digitally. The information can be graphically represented to demonstrate insight and impact of the past, the present, and the likely future based on where, when, and how events are occurring. Various methods of remote sensing are available today, such as satellite and aerial remote sensing images, global navigation satellite systems, and computerised geographic information systems. These tools are allowing many different fields to use the power of geography to uncover meaning and gain insights unprecedented in the past.
There will be significant population growth and urbanisation in the coming decades in order to maintain a sustainable environment. This challenging reality will make traditional approaches to urban planning and renewal ineffective. An expanding and highly urbanised population requires sophisticated and insightful approaches to better understand and meet their needs. In designing modern cities, traffic congestion, infrastructure renewal, public transport availability, affordable housing, green space provision, and the effects on population health must all be considered. To make better decisions, remote sensing and linked data must be accessed, integrated, analysed, and exploited. Using real-time data about individuals and the environment to make intelligent decisions. During the last decade, remote sensing infrastructures and rapid spatial analytics programs have been used in environmental applications. Using handheld optical sensors and remotely sensed information from planes and satellites, more accurate on-farm biomass estimation is possible for more sustainable environments.
This special issue invites submissions of sustainable environmental subjects and encourages discussions on geographical information science for sustainable environment.
The topics include, but are not limited to:
• Remote sensing and agent-based model simulations in geographic information systems for sustainable development
• Remote sensing in sustainable urbanization for sustainable environment
• Spatial temporal data modelling and uncertainty in geographical science for sustainable environment
• Remote sensing in spatial information security for smart grid
• Remote sensing in urban green infrastructures for sustainable environment and planning
• Remote sensing in geospatial data for sustainable cities
• Remote sensing in terrestrial transportation networks for sustainable environment
• Remote sensing in disaster preparedness and resilience applications
• Remote sensing in geography for sustainable cities
• Artificial intelligence in interactive visualization for hyperspectral images of sustainable applications
• Remote sensing in data integration for global biodiversity applications
