[Esip-disasters] Inviting Authors: Using Earth Observation Data for Disaster Resilience in a Changing World Book

[Maggi Glasscoe]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute to the proposed book entitled Using Earth Observation Data for Disaster Resilience in a Changing World as part of the AGU/GeoHorizons book series. Please share the attached flyer among your colleagues who are doing research in this space and may be interested in contributing to this book. 
 
If you are interested, please submit an extended abstract of 500 words by 09/15/2024 to one of the co-editors copied in this email. The abstract should also include a title, contact author(s) name and email, co-author(s) names and emails, and institutional affiliations of the co-authors.
  
Book Coverage: The primary objective of this publication is to compile a comprehensive and current collection encompassing scientific, technological, and policy-related aspects of Earth Observation (EO) data utilization. This includes the analysis of optical and radar imagery acquired from satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles. This collection aims to address the application of EO data in adaptation, mitigation, and resilience strategies for various disaster scenarios. These scenarios encompass natural hazards (e.g., geophysical and hydrometeorological events) as well as cascading hazards that can trigger technological accidents, also known as Natech events. This book will serve as an invaluable reference for a variety of users across numerous disciplines, including geography, environmental science, geoscience/geology, engineering, geophysics, ecology, and emergency management, among others. It is our intention to make this volume available in both print and open access electronic formats.
 
The proposed book will be a collection of five sections. Each section will comprise 5-7 chapters (5000 – 7500 equivalent words including tables and figures). 
 
Section 1: Utilizing EO data to forecast, monitor and map hazard risks 
Section 2: Utilizing EO data to assess damage and losses at various scales 
Section 3: Technological convergence and advancement for disaster risk management
Section 4: Challenges of using EO data and solutions
Section 5: Opportunities and Conclusion:
 
About GeoHorizons: GeoHorizons is the new open access series from The Geological Society (GSL) <https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/geohorizons> and American Geophysical Union (AGU) <https://news.agu.org/press-release/agu-and-the-geological-society-partner-on-geosciences-book-series/>. Publishing with both organizations will provide a global profile and maximum longevity for your research. With a commitment to open science, papers on average receive x3 online readership and x 1.8 average citations through OA publication.
 
Open Access: Charges per published page are 100 GBP, 120 EUR, or 140 USD, with no limits on figures or tables. For authors at institutions with whom there are existing Open Access agreements, charges are covered. Further details, including a list of eligible institutions, are available on the GSL Open Access webpages <https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/Publications/Open-Access-Publishing/Read-and-Publish-and-discounted-Open-Access-for-authors>. Moreover, researchers working in category A or B countries <https://www.research4life.org/access/eligibility/> will have their fees waived under the Research4Life <https://www.research4life.org/access/eligibility/> initiative. Fellows of the Geological Society are also eligible for a 25% discount.
