Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Earth observation is amongst the fastest growing geospatial technology fields, utilizing a variety of imaging sensors (radar, optical, multi-spectral, and hyper-spectral) and remote measurement systems (laser scanning, radar altimetry, etc.) installed on satellites, aircraft/road vehicles, and drones to remotely sense many aspects of the natural and built environment. Geospatial technologies have been widely used for monitoring vegetation and land use, biomass and soil moisture, water surfaces and flooding, pollution at sea, ship detection, terrain mapping, and ground deformation measurement.
This Special Issue aims to disseminate state-of-the-art research articles on earth observation-based change detection using remotely sensing and geospatial technologies, including change detection of land use and land cover, urban change detection, landslide monitoring, crop health/growth monitoring, deforestation monitoring, flood monitoring, and wildfire monitoring. Reviews, case studies, and novel research papers are welcome.

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.
