Climate change monitoring and geoinformatics: A geospatial perspective
Abstract
This paper explores the symbiotic relationship between climate change monitoring and geoinformatics, highlighting the indispensable role of a geospatial perspective in comprehending and addressing the complexities of this global challenge. Geoinformatics, encompassing spatial data, satellite imagery, remote sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), emerges as a crucial tool for monitoring temperature changes, sea level rise, land cover alterations, and greenhouse gas emissions. The integration of geospatial technologies not only provides a comprehensive view of climate change dynamics but also facilitates informed decision-making, effective adaptation strategies, and global collaboration. The paper underscores the urgent need for governments, researchers, and policymakers to invest in and leverage geoinformatics to navigate the intensifying impacts of climate change, protect vulnerable communities, and promote sustainable practices for a resilient and climate-ready future.
