Remote Sensing of Cryosphere and Related Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Remote sensing has been used for decades but has only recently become a routine technique for topographic products and detecting changes of the cold regions in a changing climate. Modern platforms and software allow researchers to carry out a fast and cost-effective mapping of the ground characteristics, both on the surface and underground, with the corresponding spatial and temporal resolution, even in remote areas.

The aims of this Issue are to showcase the recent advances in remote sensing applications, share lifehacks and peculiarities when dealing with the cryosphere, present examples from different regions and understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of the processes related to cold landscapes in a changing climate.

Possible topics are:

• Monitoring surface processes and topographic changes;
• Relations between snow, glaciers and permafrost;
• Spatial-temporal dynamics of snow, glaciers and permafrost;
• Modeling of cryosphere;
• Cryosphere and climate change;
• Mapping of cryosphere-related landscape features and changes;
• Rock glacier dynamics;
• Cold regions infrastructure monitoring through remote sensing;
• Equipment and software for photogrammetry, electrical resistivity, tomography, radar, lidar, and multi-spectral sensors.

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.
