Earth Observation, Remote Sensing & Geohazards

Research using remote sensing, GIS, geospatial data, Earth observation, UAVs, and computational methods to understand environmental processes, natural hazards, land-surface dynamics, and disaster risk.

Scope Guidance

What We Publish

Submissions in this area should make a clear scientific, engineering, computational, analytical, or interdisciplinary contribution. Suitable research includes:

01

Satellite, airborne, UAV, and ground-based Earth observation methods.

02

Remote sensing image analysis, geospatial AI, GIS modelling, and spatial data fusion.

03

Landslide, flood, earthquake, wildfire, subsidence, erosion, and other geohazard analysis.

04

Disaster mapping, susceptibility, exposure, vulnerability, risk assessment, and early-warning technologies.

05

Land-cover change, terrain analysis, hydrological observation, environmental monitoring, and geomorphology.

06

Sensor fusion, multi-temporal analysis, geospatial datasets, and reproducible hazard-mapping workflows.

Illustrative Examples

Example Research Directions

The examples below illustrate the type and level of research that can fit this area. They are examples, not a closed list.

Multisource remote sensing for landslide susceptibility mapping
UAV and satellite fusion for rapid flood extent assessment
Deep learning for post-disaster damage mapping from high-resolution imagery
Uncertainty-aware geospatial modelling of wildfire susceptibility
Multi-temporal InSAR analysis of ground deformation
Benchmarking terrain representations for regional geohazard prediction
Scope Boundaries

Generally Not Suitable

×

Map production with no research question, validation, or analysis.

×

Pure descriptive geography without scientific or methodological contribution.

×

Hazard claims based on unvalidated remote-sensing classifications.

Important: A manuscript is assessed by its actual research contribution and scope fit, not only by its subject label. Borderline interdisciplinary work may still be suitable when the scientific or technological contribution is clear.
