Remote Sensing of Climate Change

Dear Colleagues,

Remote sensing has provided significant advances in understanding the climate system and its changes, by quantifying processes and spatio-temporal states of land surface–atmosphere interactions on various scales. Yet, the ever-growing possibilities stemming from new, high-resolution sensor technologies and advanced monitoring systems also pose challenges in making the best use of the information. New concepts and tools are needed to efficiently combine long-term (coarse resolution) data sets with these novel high-resolution observations, such as data mining, data fusion, and data-assimilation of remote sensing observations into environmental models and monitoring networks, to explore the capabilities for climate change research to its best potential.

This Special Issue invites contributions from studies that focus on understanding how climate change may impact the human and natural environment and evaluating its impacts and threats using remote sensing observations from multi-scale platforms, e.g., in situ, airborne and various satellite platforms. Contributions possibly spanning long time periods are especially welcome; these should preferably rely on the integration between earth observation imagery and data collected in the field.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors 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.
