Environmental Health Diagnosis Based on Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Remote sensing provides new modes and high-tech means for diagnosing environmental health and makes it possible for the rapid diagnosis of the health status of key ecological areas. With the help of remote sensing technology, large-scale, multi-temporal, high-accuracy environmental diagnostic parameters such as vegetation, water, soil and air quality parameters can be acquired, the main factors affecting environmental health can be identified, and the environmental health statuses of key ecological areas can be rapidly diagnosed. It can provide scientific and technological support such as monitoring, early warning, assessment and emergency rescue for the effective prevention of a variety of ecological and environment damages, the reduction of the impact of natural disasters and the protection of human health.

This Special Issue aims at studies covering key technologies, index systems, and typical applications for environmental health diagnosis based on remote sensing. The topics may cover anything including forest health, grassland health, wetland health, farmland health, atmospheric health, and environment-related diseases, etc. The articles may address, but are not limited, to the following topics:

• Forest health diagnosis;
• Grassland health diagnosis;
• Wetland health diagnosis;
• Farmland health diagnosis;
• Atmospheric health diagnosis;
• Urban health diagnosis;
• Environment-related disease diagnosis;
• Index systems for environmental health;
• The impact of human activities on health.
