Spatio-Temporal Environmental Monitoring and Social Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental science reflects the interaction of human activities and the natural environment. Mapping spatial and temporal patterns of urban cities and understanding the causes and consequences of such details are critical tasks in the study of global change. As a result of the rapid development of information and data technology, environmental monitoring and social sensing in cities for land cover (use) change, air/water pollution, land subsidence, public health, crime, traffic information, and crowd movement have become important means of analyzing smart city and sustainable earth issues. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health offers an opportunity to publish high-quality multi-disciplinary environmental monitoring and social sensing research.

We will welcome papers related to environmental monitoring and social sensing. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions that provide spatio-temporal information on these environmental and human system dynamics, including GIS, GPS, remote sensing, UAV, social sensing, IoT, and big data. Implications for AI, data mining, and models of environmental monitoring and social sensing may also be addressed.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
