Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing plays an increasingly important role in Earth observation, especially with the intensifying global warming and drying. TIR remote sensing captures longwave radiation from the land–atmosphere continuum and is sensitive to surface temperature and water stress conditions. Multiple sensors onboard different satellites have been launched to collect TIR images that are widely used in agricultural, environmental, and ecological applications, including the Landsat series, ASTER, MODIS, VIIRS, and SEVIRI. Pioneered by ECOSTRESS, future TIR missions aim to collect images with high spatio-temporal resolutions which would allow for an unprecedented opportunity for a wide range of applications such as agricultural irrigation, water resource management, and urban thermal environment monitoring.
This Special Issue aims to invite papers focusing on recent advances in TIR remote sensing, with the goal of facilitating a better utilization of future TIR missions. Topics may range from theoretic modeling and algorithm development to different applications.
Topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Land surface temperature retrieval and evaluation;
- Thermal infrared radiative transfer modeling;
- Surface energy balance modeling;
- Evapotranspiration and water stress;
- Surface radiation budget;
- Ecosystem functioning;
- Urban thermal environment;
- Geologic exploration.
This Special Issue is the second edition of the Special Issue “Advances in Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing”.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
