Application of Remote Sensing for Mining, Energy and Environmental Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting submissions for the upcoming Special Issue focused on the application of Remote Sensing in mining, energy, and environmental engineering.

Mining, power, and environmental engineering activities are crucial for human existence and development worldwide. They are often, however, a source of major environment degradation, and their environmental impact and development can be assessed and monitored remotely.

Remote sensing (RS) is a powerful tool that can be used to monitor the tailings storage facility; stockpile; mining and post-mining inducted ground deformations; open-pit mines; slope design; hydro-, wind-, and solar-power installations; surface deformations around geothermal power plants; and other different technical infrastructures, as well as their impact on the environment. Ground-, UAV-, airborne-, or spaceborne-based RS approaches and platforms can be integrated with modelling in order to increase the efficiency and complementarity of monitoring activities at different temporal and spatial scales.

We are interested in high-quality submissions that use remote sensing to study any aspects of the environmental impact of mining, as well as power and environmental engineering infrastructures and activities. Special focus should be given to the innovative application of novel RS platforms, sensors, and models. For energy engineering applications, we are highly interested in applications of remote sensing for photovoltaics and wind energy. Studies integrating remote sensing with modelling are particularly welcome.

We look forward to receiving your manuscript.

Sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Radosław Juszczak

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.
