    Description / Table of Contents: This edited volume is based on the best papers accepted for presentation during the 1st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-1), Tunisia 2018. The book compiles a wide range of topics addressing various issues by experienced researchers mainly from research institutes in the Mediterranean, MENA region, North America and Asia. Remote sensing observations can close gaps in information scarcity by complementing ground-based sparse data. Spatial, spectral, temporal and radiometric characteristics of satellites sensors are most suitable for features identification. The local to global nature and broad spatial scale of remote sensing with the wide range of spectral coverage are essential characteristics, which make satellites an ideal platform for mapping, observation, monitoring, assessing and providing necessary mitigation measures and control for different related Earth's systems processes. Main topics in this book include: Geo-informatics Applications, Land Use / Land Cover Mapping and Change Detection, Emerging Remote Sensing Applications, Rock Formations / Soil Lithology Mapping, Vegetation Mapping Impact and Assessment, Natural Hazards Mapping and Assessment, Ground Water Mapping and Assessment, Coastal Management of Marine Environment and Atmospheric Sensing

    Description: Geoethics is an emerging and expanding field which is deepening its philosophical foundations and strengthening its interactions with other disciplines. Such expansion may be in tension with the need for geoethics to be a focused framework to support geoscientists in their work. There is also a risk of ‘geoethics’ being used as a catch-all term for reflection and research when considering human actions within the Earth system. The chapter reflects on how the scope of geoethics might be constrained. It suggests that geoethics might be framed as relating to the practices and values of any human agent as part of the Earth system, whereas the complementary notion of ‘geosophy’ could be used to refer to the broader considerations regarding human–Earth system interactions.

    Description: The Sicily Channel has been affected by extensional tectonic processes, since Late Miocene and mostly during the Pliocene which leaded to the development of a number of tectonic depressions (e.g. Pantelleria, Linosa and Malta troughs). These tectonic depressions have been interpreted as large and discrete pull-apart basins involving deep crustal levels that developed in front of the Africa-Eurasia collisional belt within a large dextral wrench zone. The Sicily Channel is a region with a potentially moderate seismic and volcanic hazard, due to the occurrence, in the recent past, of volcanic eruptions sometimes accompanied by significant seismic swarms (Mmax ≤ 5). In order to provide an improved picture of the seismic characteristics of the Sicily Channel, we compiled a seismic catalog by taking into account all information coming from available instrumental catalogues, reports and instrumental data recorded covering the period 1981-2017. Moreover, taking advantage of the availability of a set of continuous GNSS stations installed along the southern Sicilian on-shore, we propose an improved picture of the current crustal deformation pattern over the investigated area. To this aim, we collected and analyzed all available data coming from the permanent GNSS stations installed across the Sicily Channel as well as the southern Sicilian onshore, spanning the 1999-2018 time interval. In addition, based on our GNSS and seismological observations, we provide a preliminary evaluation of the seismic/geodetic deformation-rate ratio for the investigated area.

    Description: The recent development of the concept ‘geoethics’ is a response by geoscientists to shape deeper engagement with their professional responsibilities and the wider societal relevance of geosciences. This introductory chapter outlines the development of geoethics to date, as a ‘virtue ethics’ focusing primarily on the role of the geoscientist, describes its meaning and function in relation to neighbouring fields and explores how to situate geoethics in relation to a wider range of issues that require ethical consideration. The emerging field of geoethics has already touched on many topics. This chapter reflects on the significance of geoethics as an effective operational toolkit for geoscientists, asking whether this functional purpose may be weakened if the range of matters considered under the term ‘geoethics’ becomes too wide.
