Editorial: Women in environmental informatics and remote sensing

Abstract

The Research Topic entitled “Women in Environmental Informatics and Remote Sensing” was created with women researchers in mind. It is estimated that fewer than 30% of researchers in the world are women. It aimed to encourage women researchers to submit the results of their research and present them in Frontiers in Environmental Sciences. The Research Topic of the journal had three editors: Monica Rivas Casado from Cranfield University in the United Kingdom, Maria João Costa from the University of Evora in Portugal, and Dominika Dąbrowska from the University of Silesia in Poland.

The aim of this issue was to highlight the diversity of research in the following topics: remote sensing, artificial intelligence, geographic information systems, spatial information technologies, environmental monitoring (water, air, and soil), computer graphics, and decision support systems. The presented Research Topic of articles includes advances in theory, experiments, and methodology with applications to solving important problems.
