Advances in Remote Sensing in Coastal Geomorphology (Third Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Wave actions along coasts cause continual geomorphological changes. Although many coastal areas consist of sparsely populated clifftops, almost half the world’s population lives in coastal regions, some of which depend upon “sun and beach” tourism. Large storms have become increasingly common, leading to coastal retreat. These carry a high risk of destruction, particularly of beaches and dunes close to these populated areas.

There are now many methods of remote detection available to record this information, such as satellite images or aerial photogrammetry, as well as others closer to land, in which geodesic–topographic, on-land photogrammetry, UAV, lidar, and TLS techniques are used. Depending on the methodology used, the precisions vary from metric to millimetric. The studies on newly emerging sectors are often linked to underwater dynamics, sedimentation, and morphology. There are other techniques applicable in the field of oceanography that facilitate data acquisition in underwater areas: mono- and multibeam echo sounders, acoustic Doppler profilers, seismic reflection, and sidescan sonar.

This Special Issue invites authors to submit scientific articles exploring or recording the evolution of both natural and inhabited areas of the shoreline through the use of remote sensors.

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.
