Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthropogenic pressure, combined with fluctuations in the global climate, affects the functioning of the marine environment. It is important to take care of its health, and the related durability of its productivity. Information about the changes in biological, physical, and chemical parameters of marine areas resulting from their use is of great interest. The possibility of early detection of alien substances and energies in water masses is also important. In order to meet such needs, we require the improvement of sensors for environmental parameter changes, the creation of theoretical foundations for the functioning of sensors, as well as the automation of collecting, processing, and sharing information from sensor systems for use in national and global environmental management. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Materials dedicated to the construction of marine sensors;
- Transmission of the signal from underwater sensors;
- Autonomic sensors;
- Sensing the sea surface dynamics;
- Sensors for solar radiation in the seawater column;
- Intelligent sensors for marine applications;
- Machine learning in the development of sensor signals;
- Sensing and identifying sound sources;
- Multi-sensor data processing;
- Spatially integrated sensing.

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.
