Description:
Threats from global climate changes, such as global warming, sea-level rise, drought, and increasingly frequent natural hazards of fire and flooding, make both natural ecosystems and human communities even more vulnerable than ever. Meanwhile, population growth and human development, such as urbanization and exploitation, are altering the landscape and biodiversity of the natural environment, which in turn threatens the resource supply and sustainability of human society. The rapidly evolving geospatial technologies (ground-based observation networks, remote sensing, drones, volunteered geographic information, spatial modeling, etc) have brought new opportunities, as well as significant challenges, to explore the complex interactions between humans and the environment. Interdisciplinary research on integrated human-natural dynamics at various spatial-temporal scales is crucial to building long-term sustainability.
