Remote Sensing of Coastal Waters, Land Use/Cover, Lakes, Rivers and Watersheds

Dear Colleagues,

coastal regions, lands, lakes, rivers, and watersheds are important elements of the Earth system environment. Remote sensing of these elements is a vital component of environmental monitoring. Although these elements individually play important roles in environmental changes, the study of the interactions between components is crucial for better understanding of environmental change mechanisms. As remote sensing observation technology develops, more accurate observational data of the coastal regions, lands, lakes, rivers, and watersheds are available, which provide an effective approach to monitoring the Earth system environment in real-time with high accuracy. Advances in data fusion technology help to efficiently integrate remote sensing data from multiple sensors and platforms. Remote sensing is an increasingly important methodology for advancing in-depth understanding of environmental change processes and the associated mechanisms in phenomena. Thus, this Special Issue endeavors to assemble novel studies that utilize advanced remote sensing technology and apply these techniques to coastal regions, lands, lakes, rivers, and watersheds as well as their interactions and help to improve the knowledge base of environmental change processes and mechanisms.

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.
