Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This symposium hosted in Torrent (Valencia)—Spain is the sixth international symposium on “RECENT ADVANCES IN QUANTITATIVE REMOTE SENSING”, organised by the Global Change Unit, University of Valencia.
Papers should deal, in general, with recent advances and applications of the different techniques and research methods used in remote sensing. Authors of selected high-quality papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers (50% extensions of contents of the conference paper). In addition to the RAQRS 2020 papers, other independent submissions are also welcome. All the submissions should, in particular, cover one or more of the following topics:
- Land surface radiation and inversion modelling
- Multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing and imaging spectroscopy
- Multiangular and multitemporal measurements
- Scaling, fusion, reduction and assimilation of data
- Advances in consolidated datasets of essential climate variables and their impact arising from the climate change initiative
- Carbon and water cycle observation and modelling
- Land cover/use and change
- From R&D to operational agricultural monitoring
- Urban heat island
- Global change and sustainable development
- Remote sensing of snow and ice in the visible, infrared, and microwave wavelength
- Sensor calibration, atmospheric correction, and product validation
- Passive and actives microwaves data processing and applications
- Laser remote sensing
- Passive and active fluorescence
- Close range remote sensing
- Earth observation missions and services

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
