International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation

The Journal publishes original papers that apply earth observation data to inventarisation and management of natural resources and the environment. In this context, earth observation data are normally those acquired from remote sensing platforms such as satellites and aircraft, complemented and supplemented by surface and subsurface measurements and mapping. Natural resources include forests, agricultural land, soils, water resources, mineral deposits, and land itself as a foundation for infrastructure and housing. Environmental issues include biodiversity, land degradation, industrial pollution and natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods and landslides. The focus, which can be either conceptual or data driven, includes all major themes in geoinformation, like capturing, databasing, visualization and interpretation of data, but also issues of data quality and spatial uncertainty.Since the scope is large, contributions should be of the highest quality. Some will convey important recommendations for environmental management and governance. Contributions that expand existing methodology in image analysis, spatial statistics and logic are welcome. We encourage 'Discussion' articles that stimulate dialogue between earth observation studies and managers in a statistically sound way and 'Review' articles that provide an overview of scientific developments in a particular scientific domain in recent years.Papers addressing these topics in the context of the social fabric and economic constraints of developing countries are particularly welcome.The journal is the successor of the former ITC Journal, and has been published by Elsevier since 2002.

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation期刊中文简介

该杂志发表了将地球观测数据应用于自然资源和环境发明和管理的原始论文。在这种情况下，地球观测数据通常是从卫星和飞机等遥感平台获取的数据，由地表和地下测量和测绘补充和补充。自然资源包括森林、农业用地、土壤、水资源、矿藏和土地本身，作为基础设施和住房的基础。环境问题包括生物多样性、土地退化、工业污染和地震、洪水和滑坡等自然灾害。焦点可以是概念性的，也可以是数据驱动的，包括地理信息中的所有主要主题，如数据的捕获、数据基础、可视化和解释，还包括数据质量和空间不确定性问题。由于范围大，贡献应该是最高质量的。一些将传达环境管理和治理的重要建议。欢迎在图像分析、空间统计和逻辑方面扩展现有方法论的贡献。我们鼓励“讨论”文章，以统计合理的方式促进地球观测研究和管理者之间的对话，并鼓励“审查”文章概述近年来特定科学领域的科学发展。特别欢迎在发展中国家的社会结构和经济约束背景下处理这些问题的论文。期刊是前ITC期刊的继承者，自2002年起由爱思唯尔出版。
