Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The escalating impacts of climate change have disrupted natural processes, leading to shifts in precipitation and temperature patterns, alterations in water cycles, and perturbations in ecological dynamics. These changes have significant implications for global water resources and terrestrial biodiversity. Remote sensing techniques have emerged as invaluable tools for unraveling the complexities of environmental transformations, allowing for comprehensive evaluations of the multifaceted impacts of climate change on hydrological processes, water resources, and ecosystem structure and functioning.
By fostering multidisciplinary discussions and embracing diverse methodological approaches, this Special Issue will offer transformative insights into the dynamic interplay between climate change, water cycle dynamics, and terrestrial ecosystems using remote sensing technologies. Our goal is to pave the way for effective strategies to safeguard our planet's environmental integrity and encourage submissions that address current gaps in the literature or propose novel applications of remote sensing technologies.
We invite original research articles, reviews, technical notes, and communications that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Remote sensing applications in monitoring changes in water cycle components;
- Assessment of climate change’s impacts on terrestrial ecosystems using remote sensing data;
- Analysis of ecological responses to climate change using remote sensing technology;
- Innovative remote sensing methodologies for studying climate change’s effects on hydrology, water resources, and terrestrial ecosystems.

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.
