Applications of Remote Sensing and GISs in River Basin Ecosystems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled "Applications of Remote Sensing and GISs in River Basin Ecosystems", aims to explore the cutting-edge advancements and applications of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GISs) in the management and conservation of river basin ecosystems. It will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including the monitoring and assessment of water quality, mapping land use and land cover changes, analyzing hydrological processes, and modeling ecosystem dynamics.

Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of how remote sensing and GIS technologies are being utilized to address the challenges faced by river basin ecosystems globally. This Special Issue will contribute to the existing literature by showcasing innovative research that integrates these technologies to enhance our understanding and management of river basins. It will highlight case studies, methodological advancements, and practical applications, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical implementation. By bringing together contributions from experts in the field, it will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers involved in river basin management and environmental conservation.
