Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere
This special issue belongs to the section “Environmental Remote Sensing“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cryosphere, the frozen water part of the Earth system, is sensitive to changes in global climate; hence, scientists monitor its state and changes, particularly with remote sensing. We welcome a broad spectrum of contributions to this Special Issue:
- Frozen ground, glacial geomorphology, glaciers, ice caps and sheets, lake/river/sea ice, and snow cover;
- Recent state of our cryosphere;
- Changes in the cryosphere such as deglaciation;
- Cryospheric hazards and risks;
- Theories, methodologies, and applications;
- Laboratory and field investigations;
- Terrestrial and space measurements;
- Local, regional, and global scales;
- Extraterrestrial cryospheres;
- Any other topic concerned with the cryosphere.
This Special Issue aims to represent the frontier in remote sensing research on the cryosphere. Cryospheric science is an interdisciplinary earth science, and we welcome authors from disciplines such as geology, hydrology, meteorology, and climatology, as well as from other disciplines such as biology, engineering, and environmental science.

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.
