Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world of remote sensing is moving at a fast rate as new sensors and platforms at different temporal and spatial scales are launched. Also, near-surface remote sensing is emerging as a compelling alternative in our community because of its flexibility and relatively cheap costs. In this particular issue, we would like to provide a venue to all scientists working in tropical environments (new and old tropics) to build a comprehensive body of knowledge for future reference. This Special Issue seeks contributions from review papers to basic research. Areas associated with spectroscopy, resource exploration, and ecological applications of remote sensing are welcome. Papers dealing with data fusion techniques (LiDAR with multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing techniques), as well as the role of LiDAR to estimate biophysical properties and forest productivity, are also of interest. This Special Issue is planned to be broad enough, so the topics presented above just form a starting point.
We look forward to your scientific contribution.
Dr. Arturo Sanchez-Azofeifa
Guest Editor
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.
