Timely and reliable information on natural resources, regarding their potential and limitations, is a prerequisite for sustainable development. Geospatial technologies offer immense potential in providing such information in a timely and cost-effective manner. Using orbital sensors data in conjunction with airborne and proximal sensors to generate information on soils and agricultural resources, forests, mineral resources, fossil fuel, wetlands, water resources, and marine resources, this book focuses on the advancements in technologies applicable to managing these resources. It addresses global issues like climate change and land degradation neutrality and introduces Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) as a mechanism for sharing geospatial data. It also provides in-depth discussion on drones, crowdsourcing, cloud computing, Internet of Things, machine learning, and their applications.Features Provides a comprehensive resource on the latest developments in geospatial technologies and the
