Remote Sensing of Coastal, Wetland, and Intertidal Zones—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Coastal, wetland, and intertidal zones represent critical land–sea interfaces that are characterized by  typical attributes of terrestrial and marine systems. They are environmentally, ecologically, and economically significant areas with high productivity and rich biodiversity, but they are highly sensitive and vulnerable to climate change and human activities. Emerging remote sensing techniques (e.g., optical, SAR, and LiDAR) can greatly advance the way we observe and improve our understanding of the dynamics, processes, and mechanisms of coastal; wetland; and intertidal zones. However, relative to terrestrial and oceanic sensing, the remote sensing applications and techniques in in these areas are quite different and need to be better outlined.

This Special Issue emphasizes studies that contribute to the advancement of the theory, science, applications, and technology of remote sensing in coastal, wetland, and intertidal zones.

Suggested themes and article types for submissions.

• Coastal land cover mapping and vegetation species identification.
• Coastal ecological applications and ecosystem services.
• Biodiversity and biomass (vegetation, microphytobenthos, phytoplankton, etc.).
• Coastal carbon cycles.
• Coastal water resources and quality.
• Tidal flat geomorphology and sedimentation.
• Coastal hazard monitoring.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
