Special Issue: "Remote Sensing of Land Change Science with Google Earth Engine"
In the journal: "Remote Sensing of Environment" A plethora of multi-temporal remote sensing data ranging from local, regional to global coverage have been acquired and made available to scientific community via many public-domain platforms including Google Earth Engine (GEE). It presents us an unprecedented opportunity to advance our scientific understanding of various dynamic processes associated with earth system, particularly Land Change Science. The use of data sets and development of innovative data processing algorithms provided by GEE also helps to improve our capabilities to process large size of Earth observation data and implement these data to support a variety of management decisions. This special issue focusing providing the latest progresses in development of incorporating remote sensing data and tools developed with GEE. Research papers focusing on both methodology and applications by using GEE across different geographic scales are welcome. Potential topics for this special issue may include, but are not limited to: Data fusion Multi-temporal image classification Change detection Land-cover and land-use dynamics monitoring and modeling Ecosystem process monitoring and modeling Urban and population dynamics characterization Water resources monitoring and modeling Vegetation dynamics monitoring and modeling Ecosystem response to the climate change Tentative Dates: Abstract Due: May 15, 2018; Abstract Acceptance: June 15, 2018 Manuscript Submission Deadline: September 30, 2018 www.journals.elsevier.com/remote-sensing-of-environment/...
