Abstract: Rapid urbanization and digital transformation are reshaping how cities address challenges related to security, governance, and sustainable development. Geospatial information technology (GIT) has become a base infrastructure for smart cities, where the gathering, synthesis, and examination of spatially explicit information are used to deliver data to make decisions in cities. Even after its increasing significance, the... More

Abstract: Considering the drastic variations in the surface elevation of the piedmont region in the Bai Cheng West Area, there is no reference point within the Reference Ground Line (RG line) of the starting point of the synthetic seismic records in the process of calibration of the horizon. Through the analysis of the process and properties... More

Abstract: Hyperspectral remote sensing has emerged as a transformative technology for sustainable natural resource management by providing unprecedented insight into the biochemical, biophysical, and compositional properties of Earth’s surface. The high spectral resolution of hyperspectral sensors allows a very specific discrimination of materials, monitoring of environmental stress at a very early stage, and provides quantitative retrieval...

Abstract: Nature-based water treatment systems are becoming a promising substitute to conventional wastewater treatment technologies because of their potential to advance water quality while providing larger environmental and socio-economic benefits. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of global performance metrics, progress, and sustainability aids linked with these systems. The study tracks a structured narrative review approach,...

Abstract: This review sums up existing information on the environmental issues of critical materials in new energy vehicles (NEVs) on a combined mining to mobility approach. With the increase in the rate of NEV adoption, the environmental cost of operating vehicles will decline as the burden moves to upstream and downstream material life-cycle activities, such as...

Abstract: Climate change, natural disasters, pollution, and fast urbanization have made environmental security a more serious international issue. Timely, accurate, and multi-dimensional information is essential in the effective monitoring and management of such complex challenges in the environment. The Earth Observation (EO) systems, including optical sensors, radar sensors, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, thermal sensors,... More

Abstract: The rising need for precision farming and sustainable land management has catalyzed the requirement for sophisticated means of deriving practical data from remote sensing images. Image segmentation, or the process of dividing the image into semantically relevant parts, has become a groundbreaking technology that allows resolving the problem of transitioning the pixel-level data to a...

Abstract: The decarbonization of transportation and environmental quality enhancement have become more and more reliant on eco-innovation, which incorporates both technological change and systemic coordination and governance. The review is a summary of the evidence that can be translated into environmental sustainability outcomes on how smart vehicle technologies, including electrified powertrains and vehicle-grid interfaces, connected and...

Abstract: The most common aspect of water conveyance tunnel construction is the use of horizontal and sub-horizontal exploration drilling of headings of a tunnel to predict geology and groundwater conditions. The instability of boreholes, extreme loss of circulation, and high-head inflow are also common in fractured strata, which often inhibit completion of probe holes and the... More

Abstract: The intelligent environmental sensing systems are quickly transforming the sparse and retrospective monitoring to dense and decision-oriented environmental intelligence. This review brings together the manner in which integration of Internet of Things (IoT) sensing, edge computing, and real-time analytics facilitates timely detection, interpretation, and prediction of the environmental conditions across the applications, such as urban...

Abstract: Satellite hydrology has reached a new era where a variety of earth observing systems, in conjunction with the development of data integrations, can provide a consistent monitoring of groundwater change, wetland dynamics, and drought evolution in regions where observations on the ground remain sparse or patchy. This synthesis review highlights the physical observables that are most useful to terrestrial... More

Abstract: The water resources surveying and hydrological is required to understand and manage the impacts of climate change on the water systems. This review discusses the ways in which such surveys can be used in improving climate resilience, procedures, practices, and opportunities. The innovations of the traditional ground-based surveys into the modern hydrological survey are the... More

Abstract: Shallow landslides are strongly controlled by near-surface lithological variability, yet conventional geological maps are often too generalized to support accurate susceptibility assessment in complex terrains. This review synthesizes recent advances in remote sensing–based lithological mapping and evaluates their integration into landslide susceptibility modeling. Evidence from the literature indicates that remote sensing-derived lithological products, particularly those... More

Abstract: The definition of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly diverse, with accelerating change and exposure to complex mixtures that defy traditional detection-based monitoring approaches. We discuss the current trends in environmental analytical chemistry whereby, rather than targeted quantification, an integrated pollutant assessment, which upholds chemical discovery, interpretability, and real-world relevance, is desired. We initially explain the... More
