Vol. 18 No. 2 (2024): Journal of Geomatics
We are delighted to introduce Volume 18, Issue 2 of the Journal of Geomatics, showcasing an array of remarkable research contributions that emphasize the expanding influence of Remote Sensing and Geomatics in contemporary science. This issue represents the interdisciplinary nature of geospatial studies, highlighting innovations that enhance our understanding of geomatics and its applications across diverse fields.
The research articles presented here span topics such as property tax assessment, lithological mapping, crop monitoring, and environmental sustainability. Each study reflects a commitment to advancing geomatics, from analyzing water quality and coral reef vulnerability to predicting air temperatures and addressing soil erosion issues. These insights are invaluable not only to researchers but also to policymakers and practitioners who shape real-world applications in environmental and resource management.
In the first article, GIS and survey data are used to analyze property tax growth in Mandav’s Rampura Ward, particularly in commercial areas. Another study leverages Landsat imagery to classify rock types, while another assesses groundwater quality in Eastern Rajasthan, highlighting concerns over contaminants.
This issue also includes an intersting work on pigeon pea crop mapping, groundwater suitability for irrigation, coral reef vulnerability, and air temperature prediction. Additional articles explore topics like river basin morphometry, cashew plantation mapping, and environmental changes during COVID-19. Studies on soil erosion in Maharashtra, real-time monitoring in the Periyar Tiger Reserve, and land suitability for Kiwi cultivation in Uttarakhand India further demonstrate the versatile use of geospatial tools for sustainability and resource management. In the last article, authors analyze industrial SO₂ emissions in Gujarat, providing insight into environmental impact and seasonal trends.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to our authors for their dedication and trust in the Journal of Geomatics. Their work not only propels the field forward but also reinforces our commitment to disseminating impactful research that informs sustainable development.
