Marine Sensors: Recent Advances and Challenges, Volume II
This special issue belongs to the section "Physical Sensors".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean has a huge impact on our way of life, and there is a need to monitor and protect its biodiversity. Additionally, the ocean’s industrial potential for health, minerals, and oil has promoted the need for constant and real-time monitoring. Taking advantage of the most recent progress in sensing techniques, the purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an opportunity for the engineering and biological marine community to exchange knowledge and information on the latest advances and challenges in marine sensors and their applications to sea environment monitoring. We hope to bring together researchers who are interested in the general field of sensors, especially in their applications in the sea.
In this Special Issue, we invite contributions (original research papers, review articles, and brief communications) that focus on the latest advances and challenges in marine sensors and related fields applied to marine sustainable development, in the following areas:
- Physical sensors.
- Chemical sensors.
- Acoustic sensors.
- Labs-on-chips.
- Remote sensors.
- Underwater Internet of Things.
- MEMS.
- Smart sensors.
- As well as all other related areas concerning marine 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 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. 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.
