Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable management of the environment is one of the major challenges of the modern era, with the goal of a wise use of the resources, while preserving ecosystems integrity. A deep understanding of the status of the environment and an accurate monitoring of its dynamics, especially in response to anthropogenic actions, are crucial to develop a correct management strategy. In this context, Remote Sensing techniques can provide a major contribution. Indeed, the increasing number of satellite platforms and the enhanced performances of the imaging sensors have been making available an unprecedented amount of information about land and ocean surfaces.
In this perspective, research efforts are needed to develop methods and tools for the integration of platforms and sensors with different spectral, spatial and temporal resolutions. This integration is essential to expand the capabilities of a multi-temporal and multi-scale monitoring of the environment and enlarge the number of applications that may benefit from remote sensing data. Furthermore, the development of best practices to validate the results and predict the accuracy of the proposed approaches is another crucial aspect.
The previous volume of ‘Environmental Monitoring Using Satellite Remote Sensing’, collected valuable applications for eco-environment, water management, urbanization monitoring and land cover, vegetation and ecological quality assessments. This second Special Issue aims to continue collecting high quality contribution to the advancement of satellite remote sensing technology and solutions for environmental monitoring applications.

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.
