Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a rapidly growing remote sensing research area encompassing various related fields. The historical barriers previously preventing the widespread use of SAR data—the cost and the complexity of SAR image processing—have been overcome thanks to open source policies, new commercial constellations and educational efforts aimed at filling an important skills gap. As a result, SAR has been increasingly adopted in modeling and monitoring Earth’s resources and processes, as well as in operational environments to ensure early warnings, detection and surveillance.
This Special Issue hopes to capture the richness, variety and impact of the latest research in SAR, from technology advancements enabling the development of high-spatial-resolution-based applications to constellations and swarms providing high revisit times, as well as improvements in well-established techniques and new methodologies in data processing and applications.
Papers focusing on the following areas are welcome:
- SAR sensors and systems;
- SAR missions, swarms and constellations (both SAR-based only and multi-source);
- SAR techniques (interferometry, polarimetry, tomography etc.);
- SAR signal and image processing;
- SAR applications (from disaster monitoring to surveillance and security, land classification, etc.)
- Data fusion methodologies with SAR data.

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. 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.
