Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal environments are steadily subjected to natural and anthropogenic stresses such as hurricanes, floods, sea level rise, and coastal development. Big Earth Data is a new frontier in earth and information sciences to study our living planet from excessive earth observations. Sponsored by the International Society of Digital Earth, the 12th International Symposium on Digital Earth (ISDE’12) will be held in Salzburg, Austria, July 2021 (https://digitalearth2021.org/) and will promote monitoring, measuring, and forecasting natural and human activities toward the vision of a “Digital Earth”. For coastal environments, it enhances our understanding of the natural and anthropogenic changes, adaptation, and management of this unique zone between land and sea.
This Special Issue solicits papers highlighting new insights and recent advancements in the applications of remote sensing and Big Earth Data in coastal zones. In alignment with the ISDE’12 goal, we invite submissions addressing various environmental problems by means of innovative data collection, processing, and analytical solutions. Both ISDE’12 papers and regular journal submissions are welcome.
Topics of interest may include but are not limited to the following:
- Remote sensing of coastal wetlands and dynamics
- Coastal adaptation to sea level rise
- Response of coastal ecosystems to hurricanes and floods
- New advances of systems and geospatial technologies in coastal monitoring: Cube satellites, sUAS (drone technology), sensor networks, citizen science, and cloud computing, etc.
Authors are required to check and follow the specific Instructions to Authors, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing/instructions.

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 papers will be 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 2400 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.
