Space-Based Earth Observations for Disaster Risk and Emergency Monitoring
This special issue belongs to the section “Earth Observation for Emergency Management“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change has exacerbated the increase in complexity and severities of disasters and disaster risks. It is highly necessary to monitor, predict the incidence and prevalence to support scientific disaster risk understanding and emergency response at diverse scales by remote sensing technology.
In this Special Issue, we welcome papers from the international research community actively involved in research activities on utilizing earth observations for disaster risk understanding and emergency response. The Special Issue is open to all researchers working in these fields. The choice of papers for publication will rely on quality, soundness, and rigour of research.
