Special Issue "Land Cover and Land Use Change in Conflicted Societies" in Science of Remote Sensing - Due May 31, 2024

Political instability due to drastic shocks such as armed conflicts is prevalent in the world, and can strongly affect society and environment. Monitoring land cover and land use change (LCLUC) amid the conflicts is vital for providing humanitarian aids for food security and post-conflict planning. The recent proliferation of very-high resolution, high frequency, and multi-modal remote sensing data sets from public and private sectors has opened new opportunities in land change monitoring in the conflicted area, where remote sensing is often the only means for information collection.
