Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the application of remote sensing technologies for environmental monitoring and resource management. It covers the development and evaluation of methods for analyzing various types of remote sensing data, including imagery from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), satellites, and LiDAR, to assess parameters such as tree height, surface water storage, land surface temperature, crop patterns, chlorophyll content, aboveground biomass, and landslide deposits. The journal also addresses challenges in remote sensing, such as data gaps, spectral ambiguity, and the need for accurate validation and interpretation of results.
