GeoAI-Driven Earth Observation for Sustainable Development: Contemporary Advances and Emerging Opportunities Across Scales presents a comprehensive overview of how Geographic Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) is transforming Earth observation technologies to support the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The book begins by outlining the evolution of Earth observation and the integration of machine learning and deep learning techniques that enhance data analysis capabilities. It addresses the challenges and ethical considerations involved in deploying GeoAI, emphasizing the importance of open-source tools, cloud-edge intelligence, and reproducibility in advancing the field. The text explores a wide range of GeoAI applications tailored to specific SDGs, including precision agriculture for food security, urban resilience, disaster risk reduction, forest and biodiversity conservation, and water resource management. It also highlights innovations in air quality mapping, clean energy monitoring, health and well-being, inclusive education, gender equality, sustainable economic growth, and infrastructure development. Additionally, the book discusses policy and governance frameworks that enable the effective use of GeoAI for sustainable development, alongside integrated scenario modeling to bridge science and technology in land-use and cover change. Further, it examines emerging GeoAI applications in groundwater quality, marine and coastal ecosystems, and regional security in the context of climate change.

This multidisciplinary volume equips researchers and practitioners with the knowledge and tools to harness GeoAI for addressing complex environmental and societal challenges.

  • Provides readers an understanding on how GeoAI can drive sustainable development
  • Highlights GeoAI-enabled policy and governance frameworks for international cooperation in harnessing GeoAI for sustainable development
  • Showcases the future of GeoAI in Earth Observation from local to global perspectives, offering feasible solutions to critical environmental and social issues

He studied Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation with specialization in Geo-Informatics from the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), Netherlands, University of TWENTE, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Dehradun. He served as an Assistant Professor at the School of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Shobhit Institute of Engineering and Technology, Meerut, India, and the Centre for Climate Change and Water Research, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur, India. His research interests include GeoAI, hydro geoinformatics, computational hydrology, disaster management, and microwave remote sensing.Dr. Ritambhara K. Upadhyay is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Geology, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Central University of Himachal Pradesh, Dharmshala. She holds a Ph.D. in Geology with a specialization in Hydrogeology and Geoinformatics from Panjab University. Her expertise covers geology, hydrology, remote sensing and GIS, isotope geochemistry, and disaster management. Dr. Upadhyay has diverse professional experience of more than 20 years that includes international teaching at Jimma University, Ethiopia, and corporate experience as General Manager in Environmental Management Services, where she handled projects related to EIA, groundwater approvals, and mining. She is an active researcher with numerous publications in national and international journals and book chapters.Dr. Dhanendra K Singh is currently working as an Assistant Professor at Sharda University, Greater Noida (U.P.), India. Prior to this, he worked as an Assistant Professor at the Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur, and Nirwan University, Jaipur. He earned his doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Indian Space Research Organization, Dehradun, and HNBU, Garhwal. He also contributed to various projects at the Remote Sensing Applications Centre, Lucknow, GB Pant NIHE, Almora, and IISC Bengaluru. His areas of expertise are in Geoinformatics in snow/glacier studies, climate change, wetland dynamics, disaster management, mountain geography, and SDGs. He does have vast experience in glacier monitoring techniques on and off the field. He is associated with the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and the Indian Polar Research Network (IPRN) as a council member.Dr. Manish Pandey is Associate Professor (Research) at the Marwadi University Research Center (MURC), Marwadi University, Rajkot, Gujarat, Bharat, where he leads the TRIDHARA Lab. He graduated and post-graduated from the University of Allahabad and a Ph.D. in fluvial geomorphology from Banaras Hindu University, supported by CSIR JRF and SRF fellowships. With sixteen years of doctoral and postdoctoral experience, including positions at Jawaharlal Nehru University and Chandigarh University, he integrates geomorphology with remote sensing, GIS, and artificial intelligence to study river dynamics, glacier mass balance, floods, landslides, and groundwater. His fieldwork spans Himalayan glaciers such as Hamtah, Chhota Shigri, Patseo, and Stok, complemented by training in glaciology and geoinformatics through SERB, the Geological Survey of India, and ISRO.
