Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing is now an established scientific process for mapping and monitoring changes on the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. This Special Issue will gather research on a variety of land uses and land covers. Examples include urban sprawl, agriculture, forestry, deserts, coasts, hydrology, and glaciers. Changes in these and other land uses and land covers will contribute to debates on global processes, such as population growth, food output, deforestation, aridity, water erosion, and glacier retreat. Remote sensing continues to play a critical role in monitoring global change and ascribing policies on how to alleviate health problems.
This Special Issue will report research using high-spatial-resolution and global remotely sensed data, obtained via Space Imaging, AVHRR, Lidar, and Landsat technologies, among others. Articles will report cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and empirical applications.
We invite articles on the following themes: image classification, spatial pattern recognition, change detection analysis, and demographic and environmental land use and land cover.
Prof. Dr. Victor Mesev
Guest Editor
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.
