Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wetlands are among the most dynamic and ecologically vital ecosystems on Earth, providing critical services such as carbon storage, water purification, flood regulation, and biodiversity support. However, they are also highly sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances and climate change. Monitoring wetland landscape change and assessing their ecological resilience is essential for effective conservation and sustainable management. Advances in remote sensing technologies—including satellites, UAVs, and ground-based platforms—have enabled multi-scale, high-resolution observations of wetland environments, offering new opportunities to detect spatiotemporal changes, quantify ecosystem dynamics, and model resilience under varying environmental pressures.
This Special Issue of Remote Sensing aims to highlight innovative research on the use of multi-scale remote sensing techniques for wetland monitoring and resilience assessment. It aligns with the journal’s scope by showcasing innovative applications of remote sensing methods to address pressing environmental and ecological challenges.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
- Multi-sensor and multi-resolution data fusion for wetland mapping;
- Quantitative monitoring of wetland extent, structure, and function;
- Time-series analysis of wetland dynamics;
- Remote sensing-based indicators of wetland resilience;
- AI and machine learning approaches for wetland classification and trend analysis;
- Applications of hyperspectral, LiDAR, SAR, and/or UAV data;
- Integration of remote sensing with ecological modeling or field observations.

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.
