More Information
Summary:Remote sensing techniques use satellite and or airborne sensors to collect information about a given object or area. [...]they depend on their physical, chemical, biological and or geological properties. In the applied sciences, coupling remote sensing and GIS-based mapping are helpful for data visualisation, spatial analysis, and a better understanding of the functioning of the earth, water and environmental systems. [...]GIS and remote sensing played a crucial role in research and practice, with several applications for spatial data, geovisualisation and modelling in earth and environmental sciences. [...]the TC includes several model regions that shape the spectrum of the theme, mainly in Asia (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mongolia), the Middle East (Turkey, Iraq, Iran), Africa (Nigeria, Ghana), America (USA, Brazil), and Europe (Portugal). [...]the TC is of interest to all researchers and practitioners in geomatic engineering, applied geosciences, water management, hydrologic engineering, urban planning and natural hazards.
