2. Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Earth science encompasses a broad spectrum, which includes geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. Geo-information science, which is an advanced domain of earth science, has explosive developments in recent years, where advanced geospatial technologies, novel artificial intelligence, and technological innovations have provided new ways to analyze and process geo-information data to obtain valuable insights. As a result, innovative and efficient solutions could be developed, and some have proven their efficiency in engineering problems, natural resource management, climate changes, and natural disaster mitigation.

In this Special Issue, we warmly invite researchers to submit their contributions, focusing on technological innovation, advanced geospatial technologies, and novel machine learning and metaheuristic optimization for geo-information science. We are looking for submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Machine learning, metaheuristic optimization, and technological innovations for civil engineering,  geotechnical engineering, and geological exploration
  • Application of sensors, electronics, telecommunication, wireless sensor networks, internet of things, and smart systems in Earth sciences
  • Novel methods and techniques for time series forecasting and anomaly detection in Earth sciences, i.e., hydropower dam and marine anomaly.
  • Geospatial data science, cartography, map production, geo-visualization, land survey, GNSS, and location-based service.
  • Ensemble learning and transfer learning approaches in Earth sciences.
  • GIS-based decision support systems, GIS for policy, management, and service of humanity.
  • Real-life case studies in Earth science and engineering projects with findings of definite interest to the scientific community.
  • Remotely sensed image segmentation and classification with deep convolutional neural networks and their applications in Earth sciences.
  • Recent advances in geospatial technology, data mining, and artificial intelligence for natural hazard and environmental problems, i.e., seismic, earthquake, landslide, land subsidence, soil salinity, erosion, groundwater, flood, flash flood, fluvial and coastal floods, forest fire, and air quality.
  • Remote Sensing, LiDAR, UAV/drone photogrammetry, image processing, and their application in Earth sciences.

Finally, authors are encouraged to share codes and data so that their studies are easily reproducible and serve as the seeds for future improvements.

We look forward to receiving your submissions in this interesting area of specialization.
