Geotechnologies

Geotechnologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial analysis, play a crucial role in the prevention, preparation, response, and recovery stages of natural disasters worldwide.

Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface, representing the fraction of incoming light that is reflected rather than absorbed. Expressed as a value between 0 and 1, or as a percentage from 0% to 100%, albedo plays a critical role in determining how much energy from sunlight is retained or reflected by different surfaces. A surface with an albedo of 0 absorbs all incoming light, while one with an albedo of 1 (or 100%) reflects all of it.

Soil health is a critical factor for environmental sustainability, food security, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This topic encompasses various interconnected aspects that deserve detailed attention.

Renewable energy plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and promoting global energy sustainability. Among the main sources of renewable energy are solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal energy.
