The International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation
publishes original papers that apply earth observation data to inventory and
management of natural resources and the environment. In this context, earth
observation data are normally those acquired from remote sensing platforms
such as satellites and aircraft, complemented and supplemented by surface
and subsurface measurements and mapping.

Natural resources include forests, agricultural land, soils, water
resources, mineral deposits, and land itself as a foundation for
infrastructure and housing. Environmental issues include biodiversity, land
degradation, industrial pollution and natural hazards such as earthquakes,
floods and landslides.

The focus, which can be either conceptual or data driven, includes all major
themes in geoinformation, like capturing, databasing, visualization and
interpretation of data, but also issues of data quality and spatial
uncertainty. Since the scope is large, contributions should be of the
highest quality. Some will convey important recommendations for
environmental management and policy, and we encourage 'Discussion' articles
that stimulate dialogue between earth observation studies and managers in a
statistically sound way. Papers addressing these topics in the context of
the social fabric and economic constraints of developing countries are
particularly welcome.
