The water crisis at the Miguel Alemán dam in Valle de Bravo, State of México

Summary/Abstract: The laboratory focuses on monitoring socio-environmental indicators related to the degradation and environmental impact generated by human activities in forest areas and any other activities associated with environmental sites. In this sense, it is highlighted that the country's forests offer a wide range of ecosystem services (ES), understood as benefits that ecosystems offer to people and that directly or indirectly influence their well-being. Urban peripheries offer ES at multiple temporal and spatial scales, and the subsistence of cities depends on them. The development and enhancement of Earth Observation through the construction of GIS will allow the capture, storage, analysis, and visualization of geographic data. Understanding temporal and spatial socio-ecological changes is necessary to identify historical trends and project future changes, and, with this, propose guidelines for informed decision-making and integrated territorial planning, with a view to the sustainability and resilience of societies.
