Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Land resources are the foundation for the development of human society, and rational utilization of land resources is crucial for the sustainable development of the economy, society and environment. Various remote sensing methods can be used to obtain large-scale, multi-temporal and high-resolution remote sensing images, which play an important role in monitoring and evaluating land use change. During the past few decades, the rapid development of agricultural land and infrastructure, as well as an increasing population, have impacted land use and land cover changes worldwide. Monitoring and quantifying land use and cover changes is becoming a big challenge. Remote sensing techniques are becoming the most available solution to overcome the above challenges.
This Special Issue focuses on the methods used to obtain these image data and presents new insights scholars have gained in processing these remote sensing images. We also pay attention to assessing the impact of remote sensing images on our understanding of land use change and predicting new trends. At the same time, when land use changes, how do other components, such as water resources, urban development, etc., of the Earth's environment respond? And what are the effects of these changes? These are the issues that we are concerned about. Of course, there are many more research directions, and we welcome contributions from scholars that present and exchange their latest research results.

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.
