Advancing Environmental Research Through Applied GIS and Remote Sensing

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.
