Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of the modern economy, environmental pollution and ecological damage are becoming increasingly serious, thereby threatening the quality of air, water, and soil, which are crucial for human health. Numerous technologies have contributed to the recent advances in geography and ecology research; geospatial technological developments especially constitute a revolution in these fields. With the advent of multi-scale spatial information in the organization and composition of environmental parameters, the acquisition of spatial information on geographic and ecological environments using geospatial information techniques, such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS), has become a common practice. For example, GIS is currently used as a principal tool for the exploration of variation in the environment, as it provides essential toolsets for the collection, management, analysis and visualization of spatial data. As an important technique for broad-scale observations on the land surface, RS has been used to study a wide range of biological problems. With multi-resolution, multi-band and multi-temporal environment information, the evolution of geographic and ecological environment in different time periods can be monitored in great detail. Extensive applications of geospatial technologies, such as fractal theory, GIS and RS in geography, and ecology environment research suggest the necessity of such a collection of innovative studies in these fields.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
