Advances in Earth Observation and Geosciences

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Topic titled "Advances in Earth Observation (EO) for Geosciences ", which will collect papers from different fields of geosciences that depict the potential and opportunities of earth observation. The aim of this collection is to provide a venue for recent advances in remote sensing, drone design and application, land sciences and geoinformation, and computational geointelligence, which may include the following topics, but not limited to:

• Remote sensing applications; operational processing facilities; dedicated satellite missions; and spaceborne, airborne and terrestrial platforms.
• Design and applications with satellites, cubesat, High-Altitude Student Platform (HASP), aircraft, aerial drones, terrestrial drones, and underwater drones.
• Multi-spectral and hyperspectral remote sensing; active and passive microwave remote sensing; LiDAR and laser scanning; geometric reconstruction; physical modeling and signatures; change detection; image processing and pattern recognition; and data fusion and data assimilation.
• Spatial data modeling; spatial data management; spatial analysis; computational geointelligence; cartography; spatial data infrastructures; geospatial web; citizen science; volunteered geographic information (VGI); location-based services and trajectory analysis; and GIS.
• Land system science and social–ecological system research; land management; landscape design and landscape planning; climate interactions; and urban planning and development.

All papers will be published in an open access format following peer review. We look forward to your contributions.
