Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing Applications in Digital Earth

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection between Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and remote sensing in the realm of Digital Earth. It seeks to gather innovative research that highlights the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in applying GIS and remote sensing techniques to digitalize, analyze, and understand our planet. The scope encompasses various aspects of GIS and remote sensing, including data acquisition, processing, analysis, visualization, and decision-making support, with a focus on their practical applications in environmental monitoring, urban planning, disaster management, agricultural practices, and other related fields. The Special Issue welcomes contributions from both academic researchers and industry professionals, emphasizing real-world case studies and practical solutions.

This Special Issue will provide a platform for scholars and practitioners to share their insights, experiences, and best practices in leveraging GIS and remote sensing for the advancement of Digital Earth. Through this collection of articles, we aim to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this exciting and dynamic field.
