About this Research Topic
This article collection aims to explore the intersection of geosciences, environmental sciences, and water research. The collection welcomes submissions covering a wide range of water-relevant themes, including but not limited to:
1. Hydrological Modeling and Forecasting focusing on the development and application of geospatial models for predicting water availability, distribution, and quality, including groundwater, surface water, and precipitation dynamics.
2. Water Resources Management addressing sustainable management practices and decision-making processes in various socio-environmental contexts.
3. Remote Sensing and GIS Applications for monitoring and assessing water-related phenomena such as land cover changes, hydrological processes, water quality, and ecosystem services.
4. Climate Change and Water Dynamics examining the impacts of climate change on water systems, including shifts in precipitation patterns, changes in hydro-meteorological extremes, and implications for sustainable management, mitigation and adaptation strategies.
5. Hydro-meteorological Hazard Assessment: All types and sub-types of hazards and disasters associated with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and land, as well as those induced by climate change and variability, will be considered (droughts, floods, mass movements (wet), rainfall erosivity, etc.).
6. Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Articles exploring the interconnections between water, energy, and food production systems, including integrated assessment approaches, trade-offs, and synergies among these sectors to achieve sustainable development goals.
As part of the Frontiers in Water editorial team, the conveners of the "Geospatial and Environmental Dynamics: Between Fundamental and Applied Scientific Research" conference will ensure the inclusion of state-of-the-art research articles and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration across the fields of geosciences, environmental sciences, and water research.
