Continental wetlands are fundamental ecosystems for fauna, flora and the well-being of humanity. The understanding of this system is substantial for maintaining its balance and reducing possible anthropic impacts. This research aims to survey the progress of scientific publications on continental wetlands that use geotechnologies to analyze land use and cover. The main articles referred to two aspects: one about the creation, updating and improvement of techniques, methods and databases, and the other regarding the monitoring and evaluation of possible impacts. 2157 publications were found from the first publication in 1977 to the last one at the end of 2019. The set presented mostly results in article format, with a total of 71.74% (1548) of the publications, followed by 22.97% (495) of event annals, 1.86% (40) of book chapters, 1.72% (37) of review articles, and finally, 1.72% (37) of other types of documents. Research on land use and land cover in humid areas with geotechnologies has maintained an almost constant annual growth with a considerable citation average and exponential growth that indicates an intensification in the discussion on the topic.
