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.
As Section Editor-in-Chief of Remote Sensing, I am pleased to announce the winners of the Remote Sensing Travel Awards for 2021.
The awards have been granted to Dr. Amen Al-Yaari, who was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship by UMR METIS (Environment, Transfers and Interactions in Soils and Water Bodies), Sorbonne University, and Dr. Meng Lu, the postdoctoral fellow of Department of Physical Geography, Utrecht University.
With so many high-quality applicants, the evaluation process and final decision were challenging. We would like to thank all the applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating range of research topics. On behalf of the Assessment Committee, I congratulate the winners on their accomplishments.
