Advanced Studies in Monitoring Inland Waters through Remote Sensing Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

Both climate change and human activity impact the quantity and quality of inland waters, which significantly affect regional and global water and carbon cycles. Although some field monitoring has been carried out for typical inland water bodies, very little is known about large-scale changes in water quantity and quality in most inland water bodies; moreover, there is little understanding of the characteristics of these changes and their relationships with climate change and human activity. Through various remote sensing techniques and their combination with filed monitoring data, inversion models can be established to detect changes in inland water quantity and quality at different spatial and temporal scales, and to analyze the causes and mechanisms of these changes; these are key to further understanding changes in inland water bodies with regard to regional and global water and carbon cycles. This Special Issue invites authors to contribute research results on the mapping and monitoring of inland water quantity and quality, remote sensing spectral analysis and inversion models for inland waters, the laws of spatial and temporal variation in water quality, and analyses of water balance change and its causes.

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-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.
