Remote Sensing of Tropical and Subtropical Lakes, Wetlands, Reservoirs, and Estuaries

Dear Colleagues,

Many of the Lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, and estuaries host a very high level of biodiversity and furnishes essential services for human societies, yet they are specifically threatened by global changes. In the last few decades, the use of remote sensing for aquatic ecosystems monitoring has steadily increased. As a result, several remote sensing-based indicators have been developed to follow water quality, hydrological, hydrodynamics, and biological communities, and many advances are expected, especially with the advent of high- to very-high-resolution multispectral and spatial imagery, such as that provided by the sentinel or planet constellation. However, much of the work carried out so far has focused on continental waters in temperate zones, and in this Special Issue, we would like to collect work on tropical or subtropical environments, and more particularly around four main themes:

• Remote sensing indicators of aquatic ecosystem water quality and ecology with focus on plankton, aquatic macrophytes, nonalgal particles, nutrients, carbon;
• Coupling process-based modeling and remote sensing information;
• Remote sensing information as the base for an early warning aquatic ecosystem change;
• Remote sensing hydrology, hydrodynamics, and heat and energy fluxes in shallow aquatic ecosystems.

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.
