Advances in Geoscience and Remote Sensing Technology

The book is a compilation of research presented at the 2nd International Conference of Geoscience and Remote Sensing Technology (IC-GEOREST), which took place between October 26 and 27, 2024, in Padang, Indonesia. Similar to the first conference held in 2023, the 2024 conference aimed to explore and showcase cutting-edge advancements, methodologies, and applications in the field of geoscience and remote sensing technology. IC-GEOREST contributes to fostering collaborations, sharing knowledge, and driving innovation across disciplines to support the Sustainable Development Goals and green earth.

The volume highlights the significance of geoscience and remote sensing technology in addressing global challenges and problems. The topics include instruments and technologies, applications to disaster monitoring and prediction, climate change, natural resources exploration, deforestation, land use and land cover, and ocean observation, among others.
