Dear Colleagues,

Many of today’s world problems are related to the geographic distribution of population, its activities, and available resources. Climate change, social inequality, or citizen security have a strong spatial component apart from their own characteristics. For this reason, the need to generate new knowledge through scientific research that will serve as the basis for implementing evidence-based public policies becomes evident. This new knowledge is generated through human capital formed in interdisciplinary ways, capable of working in all aspects of geospatial information management, from its acquisition and storage to its analysis, representation, and visualization.

In pushing this goal, many educational programs have now incorporated topics such as remote sensing, spatial analysis, and geographic information systems/science (GIS/Sc). This, in turn, has generated a growing interest in research of topics related to geospatial information analysis.

The responsible management and social use of geospatial information play important roles in today’s society, science, and government. Taking social demands and priorities to guide scientific research helps achieve a successful balance between the production of knowledge and its direct use by different social actors through collaborative projects.

The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase different research papers that articulate scientific developments that are tied to societal needs and are centered around the issues addressed by geospatial information sciences. However, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of contributions dealing with topics related, but not limited, to remote sensing and image processing, computational geointelligence, spatial analysis and modeling, earth sciences and natural resources, and urban studies, network analysis, and mobility.

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.
