Land – Observation and Monitoring

Observation and monitoring the Earth’s terrestrial surface is crucial in order to increase our understanding of the Earth system as a whole and to enhance our management of Earth’s land resources. Observation can be achieved via remote sensing or field surveys, sometimes in combination, and also through secondary geospatial data sources. Monitoring typically involves multitemporal analysis of geospatial datasets. Land – Observation and Monitoring Section invites theoretical, methodological, and application papers on all aspects of observing and monitoring the Earth’s surface, across any range of spatial or temporal scales.
