Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing and geophysical tools have revolutionized the way land and water systems are studied, offering unprecedented insights into the Earth’s surface and subsurface. These technologies provide critical data for monitoring natural resources, assessing environmental changes, and managing ecosystems. With growing global challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, and land degradation, the integration of remote sensing with geophysical methods is vital for sustainable resource management. The ability to observe, model, and predict interactions between land and water systems is essential for addressing pressing ecological, agricultural, and urban challenges.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research in remote sensing and geophysical tools for analyzing land and water systems. The aim is to explore innovative approaches, methodologies, and applications that advance understanding of these systems and their interactions. The topic aligns closely with the journal's scope, focusing on interdisciplinary studies that bridge geosciences, environmental sciences, and engineering. By emphasizing advancements in this field, the issue aims to foster new collaborations and provide a platform for the dissemination of transformative research.
Themes for submissions include the following:
- Advances in remote sensing technologies for land and water system analysis;
- Integration of remote sensing and geophysical methods for subsurface mapping;
- Applications in hydrology, soil science, and land-use planning;
- Data fusion and modeling approaches in resource management;
- Case studies showcasing practical applications in diverse ecosystems.
Article types may include original research, review articles, technical notes, and case studies. Contributions that emphasize innovation, interdisciplinary approaches, or address real-world challenges are particularly encouraged.

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.
