Droughts and Floods Assessment and Monitoring Using Remote Sensing and Geospatial Techniques

This special issue belongs to the section “Hydrology“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Droughts and floods are very common phenomena that frequently occur in various places across the world. Here, the objective is to bring together scientist(s)/researcher(s) working on this topic, aiming to highlight ongoing research investigations and new applications in the field. Within this framework, the editors of this Special Issue would like to invite both applied and theoretical research contributions, submissions of original works furthering knowledge concerned with any aspect of the use of remote sensing and/or geospatial technologies in droughts and/or floods. Note that these manuscripts must be not only unpublished, but also not under consideration for potential publication elsewhere. In the case of the remote sensing data, the manuscripts may use data acquired by optical, thermal, hyperspectral, active and passive microwave platforms using either airborne or spaceborne remote sensing platforms.
