Apply AI and geospatial analytics to predict and manage geohazards
Predicting and responding to floods, landslides, earthquakes, droughts, and wildfires demands more than traditional geospatial methods. Geohazards: AI and Machine Learning in Geospatial Technologies integrates machine learning, deep learning, remote sensing, and GIS into a unified framework for geohazard assessment and disaster response. Edited by a team of geospatial researchers, the book connects data-driven theory with applied disaster resilience strategies.
Coverage spans GIS, remote sensing, and GNSS fundamentals through advanced AI-driven risk management, including real-time resource allocation and emergency routing logistics. The book addresses UAV and geospatial applications for data acquisition, search and rescue, and geohazard response. Ethical considerations in deploying AI within geospatial contexts receive dedicated treatment, alongside identification of emerging trends and open research directions.
