Planetary health is a multifaceted concept that encompasses intricate spatial and temporal interactions among various agents, hosts, and the Earth's environment. In the era of rapid technological advancements, particularly in geomatics, including geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS), earth data analytics has emerged as a crucial approach for monitoring and understanding the Earth's surface processes and assessing the impacts of environmental changes on humans and other living organisms.

Earth data analytics employs a diverse range of methods to unravel the complexities of planetary health. These methods include spatial-temporal statistics, spatial evolutionary algorithms, remote sensing image analysis, wireless geo-sensors, and location-based analytics. By leveraging these tools, researchers can gain insights into the complex interactions that shape planetary health outcomes.

This edited book serves as a comprehensive resource on methodological theories and applications of earth data analytics in measuring planetary health. It aims to foster scientific understanding of how geospatial analytics can provide valuable insights into measuring environmental risks in Southeast Asian regions. The book comprises a collection of selected papers that cover both theoretical and empirical studies, focusing on topics relevant to spatial perspectives on planetary health and environmental exposure studies.

Designed for senior undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers, and researchers in the field of geospatial technologies for public health and environmental studies, this book offers a valuable platform for exploring the latest developments and applications in earth data analytics. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field, covering key concepts, methodologies, and case studies, while also highlighting the potential of geospatial analytics to address pressing environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
