“…A security assessment model for geo-energy that quantifies geo-strategic oil energy security by China for oil pipeline construction in Russian pacific (from 1995 to 2010) has been rebuilt [64]. With inspiration from previous work on methodologies in political geography, a linkage between politics and language has also been examined in Reference [65]. The converging applications of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and remote sensing through autonomous drones for international peace and security have been discussed in Reference [66].…”

Remote sensing technology has seen a massive rise in popularity over the last two decades, becoming an integral part of our lives. Space-based satellite technologies facilitated access to the inaccessible terrains, helped humanitarian teams, support complex emergencies, and contributed to monitoring and verifying conflict zones. The scoping phase of this review investigated the utility of the role of remote sensing application to complement international peace and security activities owing to their ability to provide objective near real-time insights at the ground level. The first part of this review looks into the major research concepts and implementation of remote sensing-based techniques for international peace and security applications and presented a meta-analysis on how advanced sensor capabilities can support various aspects of peace and security. With key examples, we demonstrated how this technology assemblage enacts multiple versions of peace and security: for refugee relief operations, in armed conflicts monitoring, tracking acts of genocide, providing evidence in courts of law, and assessing contravention in human rights. The second part of this review anticipates future challenges that can hinder the applicative capabilities of remote sensing in peace and security. Varying types of sensors pose discrepancies in image classifications and issues like cost, resolution, and difficulty of ground-truth in conflict areas. With emerging technologies and sufficient secondary resources available, remote sensing plays a vital operational tool in conflict-affected areas by supporting an extensive diversity in public policy actions for peacekeeping processes.

“…While the Arctic (or perhaps more accurately, the Arctic regions) has its own history (see McCannon, 2012), contemporary fascination with the northern latitudes is intimately linked with experiences and predictions of Arctic climate change. Although such experiences may be mediated in very different ways -from the indigenous witness of a changing landscape to the satellite images of seadecline over time (see National Snow and Ice Data Centre, 2015) and the faraway analyst relying on forms of 'geopolitical remote sensing' (Moisio and Harle, 2006;Nuttall, 2012) -what they share is an understanding that the future Arctic is likely to have very little in common with the Arctic of the past. The Arctic is very much a region 'in change', and climatic changes are among the main drivers (ACIA, 2005;Koivurova, 2010).…”
