Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to submit a contribution to this Special Issue of the Sustainability Journal titled Geospatial Methods for Promoting Sustainable Development through Managing and Reducing Disaster Risk.
The applications of Earth observations (EO) and geospatial technologies in the context of risk assessment are often compelling on paper. The advent of cloud computing extends the possible detection of disaster impacts based on decades of data using probabilistic models; the exposure of assets to hazards can be characterized for modeling applications, the inference of vulnerability and the progression of risk through time. Despite the potential, advances in technologies do not always extend to advances in the reduction and management of disaster risk. Resilience and sustainability, by their very nature, may resist quantification, but spatial technologies can support the processes of and decisions for understanding risk in a changing world.
For this Special Issue, we are inviting authors to contribute either research on or successful applications of spatial technologies involving methods that overcome institutional and implementation challenges for building resilient communities. The deadline for submissions is June 11, 2023.
