Study of the implementation of geoint and remote sensing in climate change
Keywords:
climate change, geospatial intelligence, remote sensingAbstract
Background: This research highlights the critical role of geospatial technologies, including remote sensing and Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), in addressing climate change and its impacts. These technologies extend beyond defense and security applications, proving valuable across sectors such as health, social, economic, and environmental fields. By providing real-time data, they enhance the understanding and mitigation of climate change-related issues. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted by searching databases using relevant keywords. Peer-reviewed articles from the past 10 years were selected. Data were collected through a data extraction form, and the articles were categorized based on themes including geospatial technology applications, benefits, challenges, and recommendations. Findings: The study found that geospatial technologies significantly enhance the understanding of regional environmental conditions, aid in natural disaster mitigation, and support environmental conservation efforts through real-time monitoring of weather and climate change. Despite the high costs and data format challenges, these technologies offer indispensable tools for analyzing climate impacts and formulating effective mitigation strategies. Conclusion: The benefits of geospatial technologies in climate change mitigation are clear, though challenges such as implementation costs and data compatibility remain. These technologies provide policymakers with essential insights for crafting more informed and effective decisions in combating climate change. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a comprehensive review of the diverse applications of geospatial technologies in the context of climate change. It uniquely integrates insights from multiple sectors, showcasing the broader potential of these technologies beyond traditional fields, and provides recommendations for improving data processing and analysis for climate-related decision-making.
