Application of Remote Sensing in Process Analysis and Lake-Wetland-Watershed Ecosystem

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, remote sensing technology, with the significant development in instruments and data processing methods, has provided a sophisticated tool to understand Earth surface dynamics. The lake–wetland–watershed ecosystem is a complex system with interactions between the water and ecological community, which varies and develops with certain structures and functions through the water cycle. Therefore, water-related parameter monitoring and process-based modeling of this unique system are essential for both ecology protection and watershed management.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that incorporate studies on remote sensing monitoring and hydrologic or hydrodynamic modeling of lake–wetland–watershed systems to solve newly emerging environmental problems as well as to develop applications of modern monitoring and modeling technologies. This Special Issue will cover research on watershed modeling, water-related parameter retrieval from remote sensing, wetland ecology monitoring, lake–watershed coupling simulation, etc. As well as new findings, studies of the lake–wetland–watershed ecosystem that require novel approaches, the development of new tools, or improvement of existing models are welcome.

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. Water 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.
