**About the Editors**

**Jungho Im** is currently Professor at the Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan, South Korea. He received his B.S. degree in oceanography and M.C.P. degree in Environmental Studies from Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea, in 1998 and 2000, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Remote Sensing and GIS from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA, in 2006. He was employed with State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF), Syracuse, NY, USA between 2007 and 2012, serving as Assistant Professor. He has been employed with UNIST since 2012. His research seeks to broaden and deepen our understanding of the Earth systems on which society depends using remote sensing and artificial intelligence, and leverage this knowledge to better manage and control critical functions related to urban ecology, terrestrial and coastal ecosystems, water resources, natural and manmade disasters, and carbon cycles. Dr. Im is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal *GIScience* and *Remote Sensing* and serves as *Associate Editor of ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing*.

**Haemi Park** completed her doctoral studies in the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Tokyo (UT), in 2015. Her major was in Environmental Remote Sensing, especially carbon and water cycle modeling in land area. Between 2015 and 2018, she was a postdoc of the IRIS lab in Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in Republic of Korea. She went back to UT—Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) and worked as a postdoc in 2019. Since 2020, she has been working at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency—Earth Observation Research Center (JAXA—EORC) as an invited researcher. The research interests include the carbon/water balance in wetlands, soil moisture, sustainability of forests, and effects of human activity.

**Wataru Takeuchi** is currently Professor at Institute of Industrial Science (IIS), University of Tokyo, Japan. He obtained his Bachelor degree in 1999, Master degree in 2001, and Ph.D. degree in 2004 at Department of Civil Engineering, University of Tokyo, Japan. He was Visiting Assistant Professor at Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand from 2007 to 2009, Director of Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS), Bangkok office, Thailand, from 2010 to 2012 and a senior policy analyst at Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (CSTI), Cabinet Office (CAO), Government of Japan from 2017 to 2019. He has been a board member of Japan Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing Society of Japan, since 2017. His current research interests cover remote sensing and GIS, global land cover and land use change, global carbon cycling, management and policy for terrestrial ecosystems. He has around 110 peer-reviewed journal papers and 550 conference papers.
