CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on NATURAL DISASTERS

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IMAGE AND DATA FUSION (IJIDF)

Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Sr. Mazlan HASHIM, Director; Co-Editor: Dr. Christine Pohl; Institute for Geospatial Science and Technology ( INSTEG), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia ( UTM)

Image and data fusion plays an important role in natural disaster prediction and assessment. The use of multisource data at various levels improves the availability and quality of information derived. Especially in the case of natural distasters it is important not to be limited to one data source alone in order to provide up-to-date, accurate and timely information at various scales.

Authors are invited to submit papers on any topic related to the Aims and Scope of IJIDF that are related to the topic of NATURAL DISASTERS. Papers on how to use image and data fusion techniques for detecting, observing, monitoring, mapping, of the many types of Natural Disasters such as: volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, Hurricanes/cyclones, landslides, tsunamis, storm surges, desertification, etc.

Of particular interest are papers that focus on:

1. Fusion of optical and microwave data for monitoring disasters in the Tropics.
2. Multitemporal image fusion of time related disaster processes such as pre-during and post disaster event flood and earthquake monitoring.
3. New techniques and methodologies for studying natural disasters.
4. Fusing remote sensing data and other data sets (e.g. GIS data, field, statistical, laboratory, historical data, etc.) for enhanced study of disasters.
5. Novel applications of image and data fusion for the study of natural disasters.
