Using Remote Sensing Technology to Quantify Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Dear Colleagues,

Monitoring anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions using a top-down approach has become an important supplement to the existing bottom-up verification systems. In recent years, estimating fluxes at regional and urban scales using greenhouse gas concentration observations from satellite remote sensing has become a popular research area. Moreover, the rapidly advancing imaging spectrometer technology provides unprecedented tools for identifying point sources of greenhouse gases. These emerging technologies are rapidly evolving, providing more effective tools for addressing anthropogenic climate change.

This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research which utilises advanced remote sensing technologies to measure greenhouse gas emissions, encompassing both theoretical and methodological innovations as well as application experiments. We aim to advance the role of remote sensing technologies in monitoring, verifying, and reporting carbon emissions, and we hope to see these emerging technologies better serve humanity's collective efforts to combat climate change.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Greenhouse gas remote sensing;
• Emission estimation methods;
• MethaneSAT;
• DQ-1;
• Ground-based FTIR;
• Imaging spectrometers;
• Nocturnal remote sensing.

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-anonymized 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.
