Advancing Multi-Scale Geographic Environmental Monitoring: A Synthesis of Cutting-Edge Research and Scalable Solutions

Published in Land, 2025

Core contribution: This article synthesizes multi-scale geographic environmental monitoring as a cross-system framework. It links remote sensing, sensors, field surveys, and geospatial big data to scalable theories, methods, and applications across local, regional, and global environmental systems.

Highlights
  • Moves environmental monitoring from isolated observations toward cross-scale system integration.
  • Connects remote sensing, sensors, field surveys, and geospatial big data as complementary evidence streams.
  • Links theory, methods, and applications in one scalable monitoring framework.
  • Supports environmental governance across ecosystems, water, land, climate, and risk domains.
