Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing provides an effective way to monitor the atomesphere, land-cover, and water on the Earth’s surface, and allows for the measurement and extracraction of multiscale spatiotemporal information from big data by integrating artificial intelligence, geographical models, and spatial data analyzing techniques. It has been widely utilized to maintain sustainable development, for instance, through environment change monitoring, air pollution modeling, and quick response to disaster and mitigation, urbanization and long-term human well-being.
This Special Issue entitled “Application of Remote Sensing for Sustainable Development” will contain significant results regarding how to achieve sustainable development in terms of different geographical scales ranging from global to local regions by applying remote sensing as an important techinique. Topics of this issue consist of but not limited to:
- Remote sensing applications in environmental assessments;
- Air quality remote sensing;
- Urban remote sensing;
- Remote sensing of natural disasters;
- Time-serial remote sensing analysis for sustainable environment monitoring;
- Remote sensing image processing and machine learning for sustainable environment.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
