Scope and Topics

JDEE welcomes original empirical research articles, computational modeling studies, technological implementations, and comprehensive reviews across Digital Earth and spatial engineering domains. Key thematic areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Digital Earth Frameworks & Spatial Infrastructure: Global spatial data infrastructures (SDI), cloud-based geospatial computing, Earth observation big data platforms, virtual geographic environments (VGE), and 3D/4D planetary modeling.

  • Geospatial AI & Earth Informatics: GeoAI, computer vision for satellite and aerial imagery, automated feature extraction, spatial machine learning, and multi-sensor data fusion.

  • Smart Engineering & Digital Twins: Urban digital twins, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and GIS integration, cyber-physical infrastructure monitoring, and smart city spatial engineering.

  • Remote Sensing, Geodesy & Terrain Engineering: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry, airborne and terrestrial LiDAR, GNSS engineering applications, and high-resolution terrain mapping.

  • Environmental & Hazard Modeling: Computational simulation of geohazards, hydrological modeling, coastal erosion analytics, climate impact spatial simulations, and automated disaster early-warning architectures.
