Remote Sensing Application for Environmental Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few decades, remote sensing became a very effective tool in surveying the environment. The advantage of getting data from the surface from different dates makes this technology essential in environmental research. Satellite imagery and aerial photography, including unmanned aerial systems (UAS), provide a wide range of data to analyze an area or for environmental monitoring, which can lead us to conclusions that reveal the driving forces of changes or to understand different processes.

Agricultural production, industrial activities, or even the growing tourism sector can result in rapid land use change and urban sprawl, which should be monitored and evaluated from the perspective of sustainability. If a landscape’s carrying capacity reached its limits, changes can accelerate and, consequently, will lead to a detrimental state. This Special Issue aims to reveal these crucial or hazardous changes with the help of remote sensing in different scales, identifying the issues from the local to the regional level.

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. 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).
