Drought and the condition of water scarcity lead to several socio-economic, social and environmental impacts. Whatever the approaches of drought management, policymakers and planners require novel methods to analyze data and model drought processes and its connection with water scarcity. In recent years, artificial intelligence-based and earth observation approaches have been progressively developed and applied in domain of water-related disasters. The target of this book is to present new advances and achievements in the fields of drought monitoring, analyzing, and modeling using artificial intelligence algorithms (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, etc.), statistical indices, and a diverse range of satellite remote sensing and geo-spatial data sets. Water Scarcity Management: Towards the Application of Artificial Intelligence and Earth Observation Data will help students gain knowledge on drought prediction using new free-access earth observation data and machine learning models. It will also guide scientists, researchers, and urban planners with the monitoring of water resources and key elements of hydrological cycle.

Marine Geography: Ocean Space and Sense of Place offers an innovative and comprehensive exploration of ocean spaces through the lens of geographic thought, establishing marine geography as a unique subdiscipline. It addresses the historical neglect of oceans in geography, providing core theories and approaches that can be applied to address geographic issues unique to this space, such as fisheries, blue economies, coastal development and management, mobilities and shipping, and maritime governance. Expanding traditional geographic concepts and incorporating the more-than-human elements inherent to this space, this work tweaks ways that geographic analysis can be applied to ocean systems in meaningful ways. This book explores mapping techniques and lays out the physical dynamics and scientific models that provide the contextual realities with which we engage these complex environments and explores how our land-based perspectives shape our interactions with the marine world. It assembles the innovative theoretical geographical frameworks being applied to address ocean spaces and provides the building blocks for establishing an ocean point of view. Filled with practical examples and foundational theories, this book serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in bridging the gap between marine science and geography.
