Remote Sensing Perspective
A section of Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292).
Section Information
Aims and Scopes
The Remote Sensing Perspective Section publishes perspectives and short communications on the theory, science, and technology of remote sensing and novel applications of remotely sensed data. The section focuses on rapid dissemination of novel methods, algorithms, and applications in remote sensing science, from sensor design, algorithm development, and calibration/validation, to applications in geosciences, atmospheric sciences, oceanography, environmental sciences, ecology, and civil engineering. Research studies on a variety of sensors, including active, passive, UAV-based, and in situ spectroscopy, are encouraged. The section favors short manuscripts with innovative findings that might have an immediate impact on the field. It also encourages preliminary high-impact results on contemporary environmental issues, such as natural and anthropogenic disasters and their associated environmental and societal impacts.
The scope of the section is the same as that of the primary journal, Remote Sensing. The subjects considered for publication include a broad range of topics (listed below):
- Algorithm development and calibration/validation;
- Sensor cross-calibration studies;
- Environmental modeling;
- Ecosystem monitoring and assessment;
- Inland and coastal water resources;
- Ocean color;
- Urban remote sensing;
- Forest remote sensing;
- Soil remote sensing;
- Atmospheric science;
- Land use and land cover changes;
- Wetland and coastal dynamics;
- Geohazards;
- Biodiversity;
- Sensing technology demonstration;
- New sensors/platforms applications;
- Cyberinfrastructure and computational advances;
- Geospatial AI;
- Sensing via crowdsourcing and data analytics;
- Climate change studies;
- Rapid observational studies;
- Remote sensing of conflict areas and geopolitics;
- Environmental impact assessment from natural, anthropogenic, and public health disasters.
