Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the sustainable management of water resources has shifted to become more influenced by global climate variability and there a significant need has emerged to develop effective strategies enabling adaptation to a changing climate. Adapting to climate change requires strategies, technologies, and policies that address flood control, drought management, adequate water supply, safe water quality, and food security. Warming ocean waters that affect biological systems and sea level rise in coastal cities are critical emerging issues. Furthermore, the interconnectedness of the global economy and human activities creates a complex global environment. Therefore, understanding the social and human dimensions of water management and the related economic challenges are the most significant imperatives in equitable water management.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation Research and Technology”, aims to publish original research, research reviews, case studies, and applications of advanced and emerging research and technology, policy, and cross-disciplinary education focused on the sustainable management of water resources/water infrastructure and food security. Specifically, the submission of articles introducing advanced research and technologies, such as data science/machine learning, satellite technologies (remote monitoring and sensor technologies or geospatial analyses), and artificial intelligence, into the sustainable management of water resources and water infrastructure, and discussing the social aspects, economic incentives, and policies for implementing sustainable water management systems, are all highly encouraged.
