Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, long radar time series are becoming more and more accessible to treatments, mainly thanks to the Sentinel 1 satellites. Until then, these time-series were particularly useful for measuring deformations by differential interferometry, one of the critical applications for which polarimetry has demonstrated a significant advantage to select permanent scatterers.
However, radar images are also particularly useful for detecting changes, and access to time dimension enlarges the potential uses, whether for urban sprawl monitoring, crop monitoring, pipelines monitoring, flood mapping, or maritime applications. Here again, polarimetry will play a crucial role, whether for pre-processing, improving the performance of current algorithms, or retrospective analysis.
With this special issue, we compile state-of-the-art research that specifically addresses the benefits of Polarimetry in SAR-stime series, called PolTimeSAR. Review contributions are welcomed as well as works proposing an original use of full or partial polarimetry for change detection in time series, measurement concepts/sensors/constellations, or new purposes.

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.
