Water, Land, and Forest Susceptibility and Sustainability: Geospatial Approaches and Modeling

Water, Land, and Forest Susceptibility and Sustainability, Volume 1: Geospatial Approaches & Modeling brings an interdisciplinary perspective to solving complex problems in sustainability, utilizing the latest research and technologies, and includes case studies that emphasize the applications of remote sensing, GIS, and image processing for addressing the current state and future needs to achieve sustainability. As forests, land, and water are among the most precious resources on earth, emphasizing the need to conserve them for future generations and, of course, a safe and sustainable planet. The assessment of the susceptibility of all these three precious resources must therefore be addressed to inform their sustainable management. This 1st volume encourages adaptive activities among experts employed in interdisciplinary fields, from data mining and machine learning to environmental science by linking geospatial computational intelligence technology to forest, land and water issues. Presents theoretical context and practical solutions for understanding the current knowledge and where future efforts should be directed Includes case studies in each chapter demonstrating the use of geospatial technologies Offers an interdisciplinary approach to addressing susceptibility and achieving sustainability INDICE: Section I: Introduction: Theoretical framework and approach of sustainability Theoretical framework and approaches of susceptibility and drivers for susceptibility and sustainability Natural Resource Sustainability and Ecosystem Services- A Paradigm shift Section II: Water Resource Susceptibility and sustainability River basin / catchment susceptibility and sustainability Flood susceptibility and management- Case study Water pollution susceptibility and remediation Water scarcity susceptibility, regional disparity and sustainability Ground Water susceptibility and sustainability Surface water susceptibility estimation and sustainable measure Section III: Land Resources susceptibility and sustainability Soil erosion susceptibility and sustainability Land degradation susceptibility and sustainability Waste land susceptibility and sustainability Wet land susceptibility and sustainability Urban land-use susceptibility and sustainability- Case study Land use susceptibility and sustainability Land slide susceptibility in hilly areas and sustainability Land degradation susceptibility and sustainability in riverine areas Land degradation susceptibility and sustainability in coastal areas- Case study Sustainability of Soil Ecosystem Services Section IV: Forest Resource Susceptibility and sustainability Forest degradation susceptibility and sustainability Forest fire susceptibility and sustainability- Case study Forest ecology imbalance susceptibility and sustainability Forest health susceptibility and sustainability in urban area Forest and livelihood susceptibility and sustainability Sustainability of Forest and Ecosystem Services Section V Conclusion Conclusion
