About this title

Synopsis

Advancing environmental research through applied geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing transforms how scientists understand, monitor, and address complex ecological challenges. These technologies provide tools for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data, enabling researchers to track environmental changes across vast and inaccessible regions in real time. From mapping deforestation and analyzing urban environments to monitoring water quality and tracking wildlife migration, GIS and remote sensing have become integral to data-driven environmental decision-making. As climate change and environmental degradation increase, the role of these technologies in developing sustainable solutions and informing policy becomes vital, marking a new era in environmental science and conservation. Advancing Environmental Research Through Applied GIS and Remote Sensing explores how geographic information systems and remote sensing technologies are applied in environmental research, addressing challenges such as climate change, land degradation, water resource management, desertification, urban sprawl, and ecosystem monitoring. It examines how spatial technologies support decision-making, sustainability planning, and environmental modeling. This book covers topics such as geospatial analysis, machine learning, and smart agriculture, and is a useful resource for engineers, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
