Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in remote sensing technologies—ranging from high-resolution satellite sensors to UAV platforms and ground-based systems—have opened new frontiers in monitoring environmental processes at the local and regional scales. This Special Issue aims to spotlight innovative research and novel applications of remote sensing that directly contribute to building environmental resilience and enabling localized responses to climate change and ecological disturbances.
We welcome submissions that address less-studied or novel domains, including but not limited to the following:
- Remote sensing for microclimate monitoring and urban heat mitigation;
- Community-scale flood prediction and adaptation planning;
- Sensor-driven tracking of ecosystem recovery after extreme events;
- Coastal vulnerability mapping and sea-level rise assessment in small communities;
- Agricultural adaptation to climate variability using sensor fusion;
- Novel remote sensing applications in mountainous, polar, or island ecosystems.
Emphasis will be placed on studies that integrate cutting-edge sensor technologies with advanced analytical frameworks—such as AI-driven interpretation, data fusion techniques, or hybrid modeling—to support climate adaptation, sustainability planning, and informed decision-making at the local level.
We welcome original research articles, case studies, and focused reviews that demonstrate creative, impactful uses of remote sensing to solve pressing environmental challenges in underrepresented contexts.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
