Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cities are the cause of 70% of carbon emissions, which is the main greenhouse gas affecting climate change. Carbon dioxide in cities can cause significant harm to social good and will undergo rapid change over the upcoming decades. Robust scientific techniques are needed to capture the magnitude, trends and impacts of carbon in cities. Remote sensing can provide the necessary insights to transform emerging methods and technologies into operational systems for urban carbon. The Special Issue seeks studies on past progress and new developments in satellite remote sensing of urban greenhouse gases, with a focus on CO2. Tentative themes include, but are not limited to, innovative remote sensing methods for the monitoring, assessment and forecasting of urban carbon dioxide and air quality parameters, urban carbon performance and prediction models, and the integrative use of remote sensing, urban data streams and numerical models. This special issue will promote diverse research on remote sensing for global urban air quality.

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.
