Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Airborne geophysical devices are being increasingly applied to quickly investigate large areas of subsurface at relatively low costs. From the most common airborne methods currently used, airborne electromagnetics (AEM) contributes most to high-resolution spatial subsurface investigations. AEM links areal remote sensing applications with local in-situ measurements. As the principal parameter investigated, the electrical conductivity, depends on various sources such as pore water salinity, clay content, or metals, AEM can be used for groundwater, soil, or mineral exploration studies.
We are interested in receiving high quality submissions that use large-scale AEM surveys to study the subsurface conductivity distribution and further applications derived from AEM results. In particular, we are looking for contributions that combine multiple parameters to investigate the near surface. Thus, joint interpretations of results of remote sensing, airborne- and ground-based surveys, as well as in-situ measurements are welcome. We are also interested in receiving submissions that use modern interpretation techniques such as cluster analyses and neuronal networks or further machine learning applications.
We look forward to receiving your manuscript.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bernhard Siemon

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.
