Dear Colleagues,

The ocean accounts for more than 71% of the Earth's surface, and particulate matter from the outer planets, the interior of the earth, the land, and the ocean itself is aggregated and deposited in the ocean basin. The development of observation technology is crucial for understanding both the transport dynamics and deposition process of particles under different marine environments. There are a wide variety of observation techniques for observing the marine sedimentary dynamic environment, the sedimentary process of a particle, sedimentary structure of a seabed, and sediment distribution. The observation methods include the earth observation system, shipborne observation, in situ observation, manned submersible observation, and unmanned submersible observation. With human beings becoming increasingly dependent on marine resources, the environment, and world peace, a variety of new marine observation techniques are constantly emerging, promoting the development of the marine sedimentary dynamic environment and marine sedimentology.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the latest progress in the application of marine observation techniques to marine sedimentary dynamics and marine sedimentology. We welcome contributions in all areas of marine sedimentological observation and based on various sensors, such as acoustics, visible spectrum, laser, radar, SAR, electricity, thermodynamics, sonar, seism, and so on. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Remote sensing;
• Observation of sedimentary dynamic environment;
• Observation of suspended particle concentration;
• Identification of submarine sediment types;
• Exploration of seafloor sedimentary strata;
• Data interpretation model.

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.
