Special Issue on GIS and Remote Sensing

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing are complementary technologies used to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial and environmental data. GIS involves the management and analysis of geographically referenced information, enabling users to create layered maps and perform complex spatial analyses. Remote Sensing refers to the acquisition of data about the Earth's surface through satellite imagery or airborne sensors without direct contact. Together, these tools play a critical role in fields such as environmental monitoring, urban planning, disaster management, agriculture, forestry, and climate change research, offering powerful insights for data-driven decision-making and sustainable development.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring GIS and Remote Sensing. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Agricultural assessment
• Change detection
• Climate change analysis
• Coastal zone monitoring
• Disaster management
• Environmental monitoring
• Forest resource management
• Geostatistics
• Hydrological modeling
• Image classification
• Infrastructure mapping
• Land use mapping
• Natural resource management
• Spatial analysis
• Terrain analysis
• Urban planning

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - GIS and Remote Sensing” should be selected during your submission.
