Advancing Global Sustainability Through Remote Sensing Technologies

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is closely aligned with the 1st International Conference on Advanced Remote Sensing – Shaping Sustainable Global Landscapes (ICARS 2025), taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from 26 to 28 March 2025 (https://sciforum.net/event/ICARS2025). The conference serves as a platform for researchers, professionals, and industry experts to explore the transformative impact of advanced remote sensing technologies on global landscapes and sustainability.

Submissions are welcomed on an ongoing basis, providing opportunities to publish and disseminate work through the ICARS platform. Researchers are invited to submit original research papers and review articles that propose innovative solutions, novel methodologies, or critical insights into remote sensing applications.

Relevant topics for submission include the following:

• Hyperspectral Remote Sensing and Imaging Spectroscopy;
• Urban Remote Sensing;
• Remote Sensing for Environmental Sustainability;
• Remote Sensing for Agriculture, Water, and Food Security;
• Advancements in Remote Sensing through Drone Technology;
• Remote Sensing for LULC and Land Management;
• Remote Sensing for Forests and Carbon;
• Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence.

Submissions should highlight measurable advancements, emphasize the use of open and official remote sensing data, and address challenges such as the lack of local validation for global datasets.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
