Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2019 Travel Awards sponsored by Remote Sensing.
Dr. Hugo Carreno-Luengo is a researcher at the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), Spain, whose research interests include the use of GNSS-R techniques to perform Earth remote sensing from nanosatellites. He has worked at two world-leading research centres in this field: the team of Prof. A. Camps at the Polytechnic of Catalonia, and with the team at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)—Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Mr. Saman Ghaffarian, a PhD candidate at University of Twente, Netherlands, has been focusing on advanced image processing and the developing of new proxies, as well as data analysis methods to revolutionize the way post-disaster recovery is assessed. Recently, he published a major review article on the use of image-based proxies in disaster risk management “Remote Sensing-Based Proxies for Urban Disaster Risk Management and Resilience: A Review” (doi: 10.3390/rs10111760)
Each Travel Award consists of a certificate and 800 CHF to attend an academic conference of their choice in 2019. Congratulations to the winners of this highly competitive travel award.
We would like to thank all the Evaluation Committee members for their assiduous evaluation of the candidates, and all the applicants for submitting their fascinating research encompassing a diverse range of topics.
