Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Earth’s coastlines have always been dynamic, but are especially so these days due to sea level rise and increased storm strength. Entire beaches and islands are being wiped out, disrupting entire communities. Since most of the world’s population lives close to the sea, it is vital to constantly monitor the dynamics of coastlines. There are many ways of monitoring coasts using remote sensing techniques ranging from drones equipped with cameras to high attitude LiDAR aircraft to earth-looking remote sensing satellites. This Special Issue will focus on the latest satellite imagery and compare the imageries available from them for the application of coastal monitoring. There are new earth-looking remote sensing satellites such as Landsat 9, the latest Sentinel and PlanetScope, which are very promising potentially for coastal monitoring.
The Aim of this SI is to evaluate the newest series of earth looking optical and near-IR sensors onboard the latest satellites (Landsat 9, Sentinel 2A and Planet Scope, among other) for coastal geomorphological dynamics assessment.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
