Research Interests: analysis and modeling of geographic big data


Summary

The exploitation and utilization of resources is of great significance to human production and life, while this process have greatly influenced both natural environments and man-made environments. Understanding the interactions between resources and environments from perspective of the geographic information is crucial to the sustainable and high-quality development. This special issue aims to bring together research contributions of a wide range of research topics, from spatial-temporal analysis to geographic knowledge discovery, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the latest trends in geographic modeling on the resources and environments.


Topics of Interest:
This special issue welcomes original research, review articles, case studies, and technical notes related, but are not limited, to the following topics:
1. Spatial analysis and pattern mining of resource and environment.
2. Dynamic evolution process of environment factors and resources.
3. Spatial interaction modeling on socio-economic factors and environments.
4. Geographic intelligence techniques and system simulation.
5. Spatial optimization considering resource and environment constraints.
6. Comprehensive analysis and modeling based on geographic big data.
7. Data integration and geographic knowledge discovering.
8. Policies and recommendations for resource and environment management.
9. Application and demonstration of resource and environmental information system.

    Abstract Groundwater is an essential resource contributing substantially to the annual total water supply. It enables agricultural irrigation and provides billions of people with their main source of drinking water. But overuse of groundwater has decreased its supply and, in certain places, resulted in soil subsidence. In the complex hydrogeological terrain of Timergara, traditional groundwater exploration is challenging and costly, requiring more efficient mapping approaches. Groundwater recharge potential zones must be assessed in order to guarantee sustainable groundwater management. This study uses Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) methodologies to evaluate groundwater potential sites… More >
