Global Challenges,Geo-spatial Applications,and Sustainable Solutions

Abstract

“Geomatics” blends knowledge, concepts, and state-of-the-art technology efficiently and effectively to the application domain enabling us to understand and overcome the challenges we face today. The geo-spatial technological tools including GIS, Remote Sensing, GNSS, Photogrammetry, Hydrography, and Geodetic and Land Surveying have developed continually in the last few decades, and today, they have achieved a matured and operational status. These modern geo tools are being increasingly applied in almost all areas like Mapping, Environmental Sciences, Forestry, Meteorology, Agriculture, Developmental Planning, Urban Studies, Land Management, Archaeology, Civil Engineering, Humanities, Event mapping for example accident, crime, and so on. Therefore, this section intends to cater to all the researchers, academicians, and practitioners working in the field of Geo-Information Science and Technology around the world. It comprises the upcoming technological trends and assists to share insights empowering the people with geo-spatial information. Further,it generates synergy between different interrelated disciplines to come up with viable and sustainable solutions.
