Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Monitoring and forecasting water dynamics are fundamental tools for managing aquatic systems and improving our knowledge of their processes. In the last decade, the availability of data from remote sensing of satellites, such as the Copernicus constellation and the DIAS platforms, on-board plane cameras, and onsite low-cost cameras, has promoted the development of multiple monitoring and forecasting systems for water applications. Either as stand-alone data-based methodologies or integrated complex IT platforms that include numerical models and in-situ sensors, remote sensing in water environments is now an essential component of research and management initiatives. The availability of large-scale computational resources, such as PRACE, EOSC, and other cloud commercial infrastructures (e.g., AWS, Google Earth Engine, or Azure), and IT technologies for web availability of information, such as webGIS, has also contributed to significant advances in the use of remote sensing to address water problems, such as rapid inundation mapping, leak detection in large water mains, or water quality prediction in aquaculture facilities.
This Special Issue will bring together innovative works related to “Remote Sensing for Forecasting and Monitoring Aquatic Systems”, addressing several key issues that include but are not limited to the following:
- Remote sensing from satellites, plane or UAVs, and onsite cameras for water systems dynamics
- Integrated forecast tools using remote sensing
- WebGIS platforms for remote sensing-based monitoring and forecasting
- Data fusion for satellite, in-situ, and camera data

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.
