Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Part of the “global changes nexus”, climate changes and land cover and use changes have important economic, societal and environmental consequences at different spatial scales. However, their synergies have not been sufficiently explored. Since the urban areas concentrate an increasing population, the effects of the “global changes” in general and of climate and land change in particular are a major research challenge. The Special Issue is aimed at examining the two folded implications of the relationship between climate and land changes, with a particular focus on the human-dominated systems. Although the main focus is set on the urban areas, addressing the landscape scale will be permitted, provided a connection with the anthropic activities. The particular objectives of the Special Issue include a better understanding of the climate and land changes connection, an understanding of its variation at several spatial scales and a sound balance between the theory and its possible applications, related, but not limited, to the sustainable urban development, green infrastructure, human activities, urban and territorial planning, governance, and urban biodiversity. In addition to articles contributing to an advancement of the theory, we welcome methodological papers presenting new and multidisciplinary approaches for assessing the complexity of these issues.

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.
