Remote Sensing in University of Warsaw: Celebrating 60th Anniversary on Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

The beginnings of remote sensing at the University of Warsaw date back to 1962, when normal teaching program on photointerpretation of aerial photographs began. First, the course was addressed to students of geography. Over the years, appropriate equipment and new teaching programs were developed, allowing both staff members and students to engage in a wide range of national and international research programs focusing on the development of field, UAS, airborne, and satellite data acquisition, processing and analyzing in research on the natural environment, e.g., UNESCO MAB reserves, European Natura 2000, national parks, polar regions, as well as agricultural areas and urban space.

As an academic unit, we teach remote sensing at all university levels (undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies) in different fields of the University.

The Special Issue aims to celebrate contributions in remote searing area in the past 60 years. We would like to collect a wide spectrum of the newest ideas developed by University of Warsaw staff members and our colleagues, who were our students, colleagues, friends with whom we carried out research projects, who enriched our knowledge through their constructive comments, discussions, organization of scientific meetings, and implementation of different ideas, but also pleasant conversations in which remote sensing was the key topic. At the same time, we would like to thank our teachers and older colleagues who introduced us to remote sensing, creating a place that has become part of our research and teaching passion, allowing us to find a place to fulfill our professional dreams. We would like to thank our younger colleagues, who want to spend their free time supporting us, as well.

We are open to manuscripts oriented on the newest remote sensing applications in environmental studies, agriculture, land use and land cover and urban remote sensing, geophysical research, the newest sensors and methods of data acquisition, processing and analysis, as well as education and training.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect articles that will contribute new ideas and methods.
