ScopeNatural disaster under climate change is a serious threat to sustainable development, and in recent years natural disasters, i.e., hydro-geo-meteorological hazards and risks, have been frequently experienced in many countries by both developing and developed countries.
To achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this session introduces papers focused on both principles and applications of remote sensing to promote investment in disaster risk reduction using integrated GIS and space infra data. Advanced remote sensing with Earth observation (EO) data appears to be the way forward in reducing damages and the death toll or affected people at local, national, regional and global levels.
We encourage the presentation of new research findings and novel approaches on land surface dynamics due to mega disasters between near-real time observation and long-term trends with water/hydrological cycle, such as floods, tropical cyclones (typhoons), storm surges, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and wildfires.
