Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application of remote sensing techniques to monitor and analyze environmental changes across various ecosystems. Studies investigate vegetation dynamics, land cover change, carbon cycling, and the impacts of climate change and human activities. Remote sensing data, including satellite imagery (Landsat, Sentinel, AIRS, ECOSTRESS) and airborne sensors (LiDAR, hyperspectral, UAVs), are utilized for mapping, classification, and time-series analysis. Applications range from monitoring Arctic regions, boreal forests, and agricultural lands to assessing peatland degradation, invasive species, and cultural heritage sites.
