Modelling and Advanced Earth Observation Technologies for Coastal Zone Management by Ali, Elham Mahmoud; El-Magd, Islam Abou;

Long description:

This volume provides readers with the tools to unlock the potential of Earth observation (EO) technologies to transform coastal zone management. This comprehensive guide delves into how EO technologies can be used monitor and manage coastal areas, emphasizing sustainable land use and development. Designed for researchers, decision-makers, and environmental planners, this book offers multi-scale assessment approaches that provide actionable solutions and strategic plans for managing extensive environmental landscapes. Readers will discover innovative management solutions for a variety of environmental challenges, along with new methodologies aimed at sustainable development and the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 2030 targets. This volume showcases numerous multi-tasked applications of satellite data from diverse sources, validating the immense value of earth observations in environmental management. By integrating this data into geographical databases, the book provide an ideal framework for spatial planning at various scales.

Geospatial information is a crucial tool for creating interactive systems for spatial analysis, merging real-world data with forecasting models to support social and economic development. Geospatial information guides where and when to act, aiding in the development of strategic and implementation plans that promote sustainable development. Embrace the future of coastal zone management with this volume and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools to make informed, impactful decisions for a sustainable tomorrow.
