Special Issue on “Supporting Future Earth with Global Geospatial Information
Guest Editors: Jun Chen and Songnian Li

Aim
Future
Earth is a global research initiative aiming at developing the knowledge
for effective response to the risks and opportunities of global
environmental change and for supporting transformation towards a
sustainable world. Dynamic Planet, Global Development and
Transformations towards Sustainability are its three research themes,
which depend critically on the availability and utilization of reliable
information at both local and global scales. With the advancement of
remote sensing and spatial information technologies, more and more
spatial datasets at both global and local scales will increasingly
become available in addition to those that have already been produced in
the past. Supporting Future Earth with reliable global geo-information
is becoming a key challenge for assuring successful global
understanding, environmental change analysis, transformational
development and dynamic modeling. This special issue of the International Journal of Digital Earth (IJDE)
is devoted to the latest development on global geospatial data
production and sharing, successful application experiences of global
geo-information in environmental change analysis and sustainability
studies, examination and analysis of up-to-date user requirements and
key gaps arising from Future Earth studies, and identification of major
challenges.
The IJDE
is the official Journal of the International Society for Digital Earth
and is published by Taylor & Francis of the UK. It is the first
professional and international peer‐reviewed journal in the digital
earth research field around the world. The SCI 2013 impact factor for
this journal is now at 2.212.
Papers for this special issue on Supporting Future Earth with Global Geo-spatial Information
must present original, state‐of-the‐art research that contributes to
the development of technologies for producing, sharing and analyzing
global geospatial information and their applications for supporting
Future Earth developments. This is an open call for papers. Selected
quality papers from the International Workshop on Supporting Future
Earth with Global Geo-information will also be invited for submission.
Scope
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Challenges and requirements of global geospatial information and services within the context of Future Earth programs;
- Latest
developments of global geospatial data (Earth observation, digital
elevation, land cover, environmental monitoring, and ecological data);
- Representation and visualization of global geospatial information;
- Policy and technology for global geospatial information sharing and services;
- Applications
of global geospatial data in global understanding, environmental change
analysis, dynamic modeling and transformational development.
