Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable Development (SD) has been receiving more and more attention from academics, policymakers, and has been calling for deep transformations in every country. To achieve the Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) outcomes, the governments take complementary actions to add more co-operations in numerous areas, including environment, social, energy, and so on. With the development of earth observing technology, GIS analysis and the spatial-temporal data mining methods provide important support for the achievement of SDGs. In recent years, the focus of research has been shifting from 2D GIS analysis at macro-scale to 3D GIS analysis at micro-scale, for example, 3D spatial heterogeneity of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), high-resolution emission inventory, 3D digital soil mapping, or 3D structures of PM2.5.
This Special Issue invites researchers to submit studies that deal with monitoring environment for sustainable development, and encourages more intellectual efforts and contributions to GIScience theories, tools, and practices regarding sustainable development. We are interested in research investigating different environmental monitoring systems and natural resources, including soil, water, forest, air quality, traffic, and so on, that move towards more sustainability. We especially welcome articles that provide any innovative analysis methods in monitoring environment, such as 3D spatiotemporal statistics, deep learning, or reinforcement learning. We invite all researchers to share research articles, reviews, and case studies tackling challenges at macro-, meso-, micro-scale with GIScience, and encourage researchers as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their current insights in this Special Issue entitled “3D GIS Analysis in Monitoring Environment for Sustainable Development”.
The scope of the Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Big data analysis for SDGs;
- GeoAI and new GIS methods for sustainable development;
- The 2D/3D spatiotemporal statistics and data mining in monitoring environment;
- Three-dimensional digital soil mapping;
- High-resolution emission inventory;
- Carbon emissions and carbon neutrality;
- Air quality, atmospheric conditions;
- Environmental pollution and human health effects;
- Environmental impacts of agriculture, forestry, land uses and climate change;

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
