Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of soundscapes is an emerging, interdisciplinary area of acoustics. This new research area encompasses the investigation of environmental sounds and ambient background noise from terrestrial, marine and fresh water locations. Soundscapes offer a unique way to measuring biodiversity, physical processes, environmental impact and habitat health status. Moreover, technological advances in long-term recording systems have enhanced researchers’ ability to obtain extensive big data sets which capture daily and seasonal changes in acoustic energy. Recently, commercial long-term recorders have fostered interest and activity in the field. For this Special Issue, topics can include individual case studies as well reports on advances in recording technology and methodology, data analysis and new applications. Researchers from the fields of engineering, biology, ecology, environmental sciences and others are encouraged to contribute to this Issue.

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).
