Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to present this Special Issue “Methods and Applications of Lidar Remote Sensing” to be published in the journal Applied Sciences.
As an advanced technology, lidar has attracted increasing interest as a topic of research in recent years. With the development of lidar hardware, the science and technology of lidar remote sensing is rapidly developing, with substantial output of meaningful scientific achievements. Given the wide application of lidar remote sensing in the fields of atmosphere, environment, vegetation, surveying and mapping, and so on, the development of lidar remote sensing has ushered in great opportunities and challenges. Therefore, the main goal of this Special Issue is to summarize achievements in the development of lidar remote sensing technology, discuss and look forward to the future directions of development, and promote the rapid application of lidar remote sensing in different fields.
This Special Issue is particularly encouraging submissions on the methods and applications of lidar remote sensing for retrieving atmosphere parameters, monitoring environmental quality, estimating vegetation status from leaf and canopy, etc. Related hardware design and retrieval algorithms for ground-based, airborne, and space-based lidar sensors are also of interest, as are data fusion approaches for acquiring new data with higher accuracy and temporal and spatial resolution. In summary, this Special Issue invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of lidar remote sensing. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as are comprehensive review and survey papers.

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.
