Advancements in Environmental Remote Sensing and GIS

Dear Colleagues,

Rapid advances in environmental remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) have transformed our approach to understanding and managing the Earth's resources. These technologies have become indispensable tools for monitoring, assessing, and modeling environmental phenomena, providing unprecedented precision and insight into ecological systems. The integration of remote sensing and GIS enables improved spatial analysis and provides a powerful means to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable management practices. From monitoring deforestation and urban sprawl to assessing the impact of climate change and natural disasters, the combination of these technologies enables comprehensive and dynamic analyses that support decision-making processes across various fields.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Advancements in Environmental Remote Sensing and GIS”, which will present the latest research results and innovations in this dynamic field. This Special Issue seeks to gather contributions that address new methods, applications, and case studies, highlighting the role of remote sensing and GIS in improving our understanding of environmental systems and increasing the effectiveness of environmental management strategies.

Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Remote sensing applications in environmental monitoring and assessment;
• Integration of remote sensing data and GIS for ecosystem management;
• Advances in spatial modeling and analysis for environmental studies;
• Applications of GIS and remote sensing in climate change research;
• Land use and land cover change detection using remote sensing and GIS;
• Applications in disaster management and risk assessment;
• Innovations in sensor technology and data processing techniques;
• Case studies demonstrating the practical applications of remote sensing and GIS in environmental management.

We encourage submissions of original research papers, review articles, and case studies that contribute to the growing body of knowledge in the fields of environmental remote sensing and GIS. By bringing together different perspectives and the latest research findings, this Special Issue aims to advance the field and promote interdisciplinary collaboration.

This Special Issue is published in collaboration with the International Conference of Environmental Remote Sensing and GIS (ICERS) and welcomes submissions from conference participants.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions!

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.
