Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing from UAVs to spaceborne sensors offers a unique opportunity to measure, analyze, quantify, map, and explore spatiotemporal phenomena at high temporal frequencies. By leveraging these technologies, researchers gain unprecedented insights into the dynamic changes occurring in coastal areas and other environments, facilitating better monitoring, management, and conservation efforts.
This Special Issue aims to collect innovative and high-quality research articles related to current trends and challenges in the field of UAV and satellite mapping for Dynamic Environmental Monitoring. The integration of UAV and satellite technologies with GIS and GeoAI has opened new avenues for the mapping, analysis, and assessment of environmental spatiotemporal phenomena. We invite contributions that explore the latest advancements, methodologies, and applications in this dynamic field.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Monitoring and mapping changes;
- UAV and satellite imagery within GIS are used for emergency planning and recovery;
- UAV and satellite-based GIS applications for environmental monitoring;
- The mapping and quantification of emerging environmental phenomena;
- The use of geo AI for mapping spatial relationships and patterns;
- Machine learning techniques for analyzing spatiotemporal data from UAVs and satellites;
- Machine learning strategies for environmental monitoring and analyzing ecosystem dynamics;
- Fusion techniques for UAV and satellite data;
- The assessment of emerged phenomena using UAS remote sensing;
- Techniques for monitoring environmental changes using UAV and satellite data;
- Rapid assessment and response strategies for natural disasters;
- Damage assessment in coastal areas using remote sensing;
- UAV and remote sensing applications in archeology;
- Temporal analysis of land use and land cover changes using UAV, satellite, and GIS technologies;
- Decision making using remote sensing in coastal environments;
- Applications in forest management, water resource monitoring, and pollution tracking.
These topics cover various applications and innovations at the intersection of UAV, satellite technologies, GeoAI, and GIS in mapping dynamic environmental phenomena, providing a comprehensive scope for research articles and systematic literature reviews on any of the aforementioned topics.
