Part 1 – Earth, Mine and Environmental Sciences towards the Sustainability
This part brings together studies on geohazards, geotechnical engineering, mining science, hydrogeology, and environmental geology. The contributions highlight innovative approaches to landslide and geohazard assessment, advanced geotechnical modeling and underground construction behavior, sustainable mining practices, and environmental monitoring for land, water, and geological systems. These works reinforce the essential principles of ensuring safety, environmental protection, and sustainable resource utilization, forming the foundation for resilient national progress.
Part 2 – Digital Transformation for Prosperous Development
The second part illustrates how AI, machine learning, remote sensing, WebGIS, and geospatial intelligence are revolutionizing data acquisition, environmental monitoring, hazard prediction, and decision-making. The studies presented explore big data and deep learning techniques for landslide modeling, WebGIS-based early warning systems, UAV and hyperspectral imaging applications, groundwater forecasting, air quality assessment, and digital transformation-driven environmental governance. These contributions vi Volume 2: Earth, Mine, and Environmental Sciences for Green, Sustainable, and Prosperous Development ... demonstrate the transformative role of digital technologies in fostering prosperous, evidence-based, and future-ready development.
Part 3 – Green Development: Perspectives of the Earth, Mine and Environmental Sciences
The final part focuses on the scientific foundations and practical pathways toward green growth, environmental restoration, and sustainable livelihoods. The articles cover marine and coastal ecosystem management, microplastic pollution, wastewater treatment, green materials and circular economy solutions, biodiversity and climate-related studies, greenhouse gas monitoring, and sustainable tourism planning. Collectively, these contributions reflect a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to green development, integrating environmental science, socio-economic considerations, and policy-relevant insights. As a whole, Volume 2 presents a comprehensive and timely collection of scientific advances that align with national and global priorities for sustainability. It showcases how Earth, mining, and environmental sciences are evolving to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world, advancing the shared goal of a safer, greener, and more prosperous future. We extend our sincere appreciation to all authors, reviewers, editors, and supporting institutions for their dedication and contributions. Their collective efforts have made this volume a meaningful addition to the scientific literature and a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students.
