Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital Earth refers to the use of digital technologies to help people understand this planet's natural and social activities. Because of its multidimensionality, multi-resolution, and substantial data, it can be used as a shared platform to facilitate national and international collaboration for global sustainable development. To construct the Digital Earth model, various remote sensing sensors have been adopted to collect comprehensive information about the Earth and provide increasing data resources, including photographic sensors, scanning sensors, radar imaging sensors, and non-imaging sensors carried by satellites, aircraft, near-space vehicles, and so on.
This Special Issue aims to gather original research and review articles on the latest advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges of sensors and methods applied to the construction of Digital Earth.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
(1) Spaceborne/airborne sensor technology used to remotely sense Earth’s environments, such as oceans, the atmosphere, and land.
(2) Ground-based sensor technology used to observe the ionosphere, magnetosphere, troposphere, etc.
(3) Methods adopted to extract useful information from the data resources obtained by various sensors for Digital Earth.
(4) Methods used to construct Digital Earth based on the data resources acquired by various sensors.

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.
