Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute a paper to the Special Issue titled “Application of Remote Sensing Technology in Marine and Water Resources Observation”.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Remote sensing concepts and advanced sensors for the marine/ocean environment and water resources;
  • Monitoring of marine/water litter and floating materials (such as sea ice, algal blooms, and oil-spill pollutions) achieved through the use of remote sensing methods;
  • Monitoring of parameters affecting the sea or lake surface, such as surface current, wind fields, wave height, sea/water level, ocean tide, sea/water surface temperature, and ocean surface salinity;
  • Innovative SAR concepts for optimal sensing of the marine and water environment;
  • Change detection techniques for marine and inland water observation;
  • PolSAR methods for maritime surveillance;
  • InSAR techniques for coastline changes, and river subsidence;
  • Applications in remote sensing for river water quality;
  • Remote sensing of the ocean water color;
  • Innovative applications using passive optical sensors in marine, coastal, and inland water environments;
  • Maritime surveillance case studies, including navigation in ice-infested waters, vessel detection, and ship traffic.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
