Earth Observation Frontiers for Environment and Climate Science Sustainability

The Research Topic "Earth Observations Frontiers of Environment and Climate Science for Sustainability" encompasses a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to monitoring and analyzing environmental and climatic changes using advanced sensor technologies. This data is essential for assessing the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic activities on ecosystems and climate. It is also crucial in disaster risk reduction and management, offering early warning systems and real time monitoring for natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes, thereby aiding rapid response and effective recovery planning. In agriculture sector, remote sensing intensively applicable to monitor crop health, soil moisture, and productivity, supporting precision agriculture practices that optimize inputs and improve yields, crucial for food security. Urban planning and sustainable development also rely on satellite observations for analyzing urban growth, infrastructure development, and land-use planning, as well as monitoring air quality and urban heat islands. Additionally, satellite remote sensing applied in marine and coastal zone to tracks coastal erosion, coral reef health, and marine biodiversity, and also in assessing the impacts of sea level rise and human activities on coastal regions. The integration of earth observations data with in-situ measurements, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and environmental models enhances data accuracy and utility, supporting the development of predictive models and decision-support tools crucial for sustainable management and Policy making.The Topic invited research articles related to, but not limited to:• Monitoring environmental and climatic changes using advanced sensor technologies.• Big data analysis and AI/ML applications.• Extreme event like, urban heat, floods, cyclones, and wildfires monitoring and management.• Precision practices in agricultural sector toward better crop monitoring and productivity.• Urban sprawl and its impact on heat islands, and air quality.• Observation for coastal and ocean zone under climate and human pressure.• Earth observations driving policy and sustainable development.• Water resources vulnerability and management.
