Scope (Session Description) This session is a continuation of the geospatial applications sessions held in the previous three JpGu meetings. With current challenges such as climate change facing the world and impacting upon food security, the need for geospatial solutions which can benefit society is of greater urgency than before. The greater use of artificial intelligence to analyze geospatial data acquired through remote sensing, GNSS and GIS provides promising alternatives to traditional approaches. Papers are invited in the areas of natural resources (excluding mineral resources and geology), environment, and agriculture with particular emphasis on geospatial applications to address the areas of concern in these fields. Innovative legal approaches and policies are welcome. The use of micro-satellites, conventional satellites, airborne, UAV, and related geospatial technologies are highly encouraged. On-going micro-satellite applications as well as potential geospatial applications are welcome. The conveners of this session hope to create greater motivation, excitement, and effort to promote further the geospatial applications field through presentations in this session. This session is a collaboration between members of the Institution of Geospatial and Remote Sensing Malaysia (IGRSM), Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU), Philippine Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society (PhilGRSS), Philippine Environmental Science Association (PESA), Geological Society of the Philippines (GSP). and the Mongolian Physical Society (MPS).
