Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue on the "Applications of Remote Sensing in Environmental Sciences". Remote sensing has become an indispensable tool in environmental research, providing critical data and insights for monitoring, understanding, and managing various environmental phenomena. The rapid advancements in remote sensing technology, coupled with increasing environmental challenges, underscore the importance of this research area. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments and applications of remote sensing in addressing environmental issues.
This Special Issue aims to collect a diverse range of high-quality research articles and reviews that explore the use of remote sensing in environmental sciences. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current methodologies, applications, and innovations in this field. By aligning with the journal's scope, this Special Issue will focus on significant contributions that enhance our understanding of environmental processes and aid in effective decision-making for environmental management. We encourage submissions that present novel approaches, case studies, and theoretical advancements in remote sensing applications relevant to environmental science.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following themes:
- Innovative remote sensing techniques for environmental monitoring;
- Integration of remote sensing data with other geospatial and environmental datasets;
- Case studies demonstrating the application of remote sensing in environmental management;
- Development of new algorithms and models for environmental analysis using remote sensing data;
- Evaluation of the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing data for environmental studies;
- Remote sensing applications in climate change impact assessment;
- Monitoring and modeling of land use and land cover changes;
- Biodiversity assessment and habitat mapping using remote sensing;
- Remote sensing for water resource management and hydrological studies;
- Disaster management and mitigation using remote sensing technologies;
- Urban environmental analysis through remote sensing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
