Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Earth Resource Management offers a detailed look at the different ways data analytics and artificial intelligence can help organizations make better-informed decisions, improve operations, and minimize the negative impacts of resource extraction on the environment. The book explains several different ways data analytics and artificial intelligence can improve and support earth resource management. Predictive modeling can help organizations understand the impacts of different management decisions on earth resources, such as water availability, land use, and biodiversity. Resource monitoring tracks the state of earth resources in real-time, identifying issues and opportunities for improvement. Providing managers with real-time data and analytics allows them to make more informed choices. Optimizing resource management decisions help to identify the most efficient and effective ways to allocate resources. Predictive maintenance allows organizations to anticipate when equipment might fail and take action to prevent it, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Remote sensing with image processing and analysis can be used to extract information from satellite images and other remote sensing data, providing valuable information on land use, water resources, and other earth resources.

Sulochana Shekhar Professor and Dean, Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN) School of Earth Sciences, CUTN Bridge, Neelakudi, Tamil Nadu, India.Dr. Sulochana Shekhar is the Dean of the School of Earth Sciences at the Central University of Tamil Nadu, Thiruvarur, India. Her research interests include urban geography and the application of remote sensing and geospatial techniques in urban environments. She has worked on cellular automata-based urban growth models and urban sprawl assessment using entropy for her doctoral research. Object-based image analysis was the main theme of her postdoctoral research at ITC, the Netherlands. She has previously worked on projects involving spatial decision support systems for slums (UCL, UK) and extraction of slums and urban green space using object-based image analysis (UTAS, Australia). She has completed major funded projects on housing the urban poor (HUDCO) and the environmental impact of urbanization (UGC Major) using geospatial techniques. She has collaborated with Cambridge University, UK and completed the UKIERI research project on the interactive spatial decision support system for managing public health.
