Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The conservation of cultural heritage has always been a challenge for the populations called to manage it. Nowadays, we have contactless and proximal sensors to support knowledge of the health status of the assets, as well as remote sensing technologies to monitor changes in the host environment. Datasets are available from different types of satellites, and airborne and terrestrial sensors, which, when analysed individually or combined with each other, allow us to obtain a wide variety of information on the cultural heritage. Furthermore, structured information obtained by monitoring activities and specific analyses can be made available to researchers through information systems and GIS platforms. These systems often represent valid tools that allow for the dissemination of knowledge based on multi-source datasets, with variability in space and over time, for decision makers and citizens. This Special Issue aims to collect original documents regarding algorithms, applications, methodologies, and case studies on contactless and remote sensing techniques applied so as to support the monitoring and preservation of cultural heritage. In addition, we would like to invite the submission of research concerning the development of information systems and GIS services for risk monitoring and management of cultural resources. Lastly, review articles analysing the state of the art on the proposed topics are also particularly 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.
