Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue of Remote Sensing will focus on the exploitation of remote sensing for terrestrial subsurface imaging. It looks to capture the breadth and capability of remote sensing applied to this task from both air and space, and across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma rays through to radio. Different spectral bands and imaging techniques can have very different sensitivities with regard to both scale and target type. As such, the activities are relevant both for the retrieval of features on the geological scale—such as in geological prospection or ice-sheet sounding—and also in the retrieval of subsurface geophysical parameters, such as snow water equivalent from snowpacks, or moisture distribution in soils. Submissions are welcome from any application using passive or active techniques, and it is expected that the Special Issue will be particularly relevant to the fields of physical geography, geology, archaeology, and environmental monitoring. Papers may want to report on the methodology or application of subsurface imaging, signal and image processing schemes, sensitivities and parameter extraction, or sensor design and performance. Future instrument proposals or new mission concepts with a clear focus on subsurface imaging would also be 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.
