Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Environmental monitoring is fundamental to understanding our ecosystem, to preventing adverse effects on human health and environment, and as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of regulations. Recent advances in technology, instrumentation, and procedures have pushed forward laboratory capabilities in testing and analyzing soil, water, gas, and biota specimens and have created new opportunities for real-time monitoring, In the era of big data and the Internet of things, wireless sensor networks are essential for generating data. The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) for environmental monitoring can provide an excellent tool to analyze the changes and impacts caused by human activity. These architectures are widely used in environmental monitoring because they offer many important benefits, such as real time access to data, covering wide areas, long term monitoring and system scalability.
This Special Issue is concerned with the application of wireless sensor network (WSN) technology to long-duration and large-scale environmental monitoring including, but not limited to, design and calibration of new sensors, development of WSN for innovative applications, or performance of deployed WSN for long term monitoring.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
