Geospatial Infrastructure Management Ecosystem (GeoIME) and Digital Geological Mapping

Dear Colleagues,

Geospatial information technologies have been increasingly used in various disciplines and professions, including digital geological mapping, disaster management, and risk reduction. In July 2018, the United Nations adopted a resolution stressing the implementation of geospatial information for disaster risk reduction. 

In this regard, we proposed the topic of the Geospatial Infrastructure Management Ecosystem (GeoIME) and digital geological mapping to the Remote Sensing Journal for a Special Issue. This Special Issue focuses on Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), including seamlessly cloud-based platforms as well as the integration of technologies to improve pre- and post-disaster management and how to determine vulnerability and estimation of risk of infrastructures such as buildings, bridges, and roads, etc.

The expected outcomes of this Special Issue are to put together ideas in implementing Geospatial information for building a better environment and ecosystem for smart cities and the future digital world. 

Everyone in various disciplines, including remote sensing computer science and environment, GeoAI, LiDAR processing, geological engineering, geoinformatics for natural hazards and disasters management, GIS, surveying and geodesy, structure and earthquake, civil engineering are welcome to submit research or technical papers to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
