Earth resources are the precious assets that provide living space
for human beings. In the last few decades, the pressure on earth
resources has increased due to anthropogenic activities and rapid
industrialisation. The sustainable management of earth resources
requires reliable, accurate, and timely information at different
observational scales. Geo-information technology is an efficient
tool for acquiring information required for environmental
protection, earth resources monitoring, and addressing the issues
associated with sustainable development and management. It offers
an influential and capable tool for mapping, monitoring, modeling,
and management of earth resources. Many researchers have reported
their findings and operational applications of direct relevance to
the management of earth resources with the launch of imaging
satellites in the 1970s. However, few studies have been reported to
understand the core science and research basics, as there are
larger issues of capacity building to use geo-information
technology in sustainable development and management of earth
resources. There is also a fundamental gap between the theoretical
concepts and the operational use of these advanced tools. This
could be resolved by providing a broad range of applications of
this technology to the scientific and research community in the
field of geospatial technologies and allied subjects. This book,
entitled "Geo-Information Technology in Earth Resources Monitoring
and Management," deals with the challenges for sustainable
management and development of earth resources with a focus on India
and other countries around the world. The chapters are written by
prominent academicians, researchers, and experts in the field of
geo-information technology and related subjects. This book is a
collection of chapters providing a multi-disciplinary overview for
academicians, researchers, scientists, administrators,
policymakers, social scientists, and professionals involved in the
various aspects of earth resources development, planning, and
management. The aim of this book is to replenish the gap in the
available literature on the subject by bringing together the
concepts, theories, and experiences of specialists and
professionals in this field.
