Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
No one needs convincing about the enormous importance of groundwater resources (globally 30% of freshwater resources, providing about 36% of drinkable water, 42% of irrigation water and 24% of industrial water). Groundwater is also essential for the overall water cycle and balance. Groundwater resources are subject to different fluctuations caused by many factors, like growing population, urbanisation, climate change, bad management or lack of control. Hence, there is a need for continuous, in-depth monitoring of groundwater resources and factors affecting them. This should enable wise decisions on groundwater management, based on the results of collected data and scientific research.
The purpose of the Special Issue is to present the modern methods and results of research on groundwater resources, their fluctuations, trends of changes, factors causing these changes, forecasts for the future. Remote methods such as multispectral, radar, thermal and gravity monitoring, both satellite and on-ground, are of basic interest to the Remote Sensing Journal.
Suggested themes of submissions include the following:
- Modern methods of monitoring, especially remote techniques;
- Methods of observation elaboration;
- Statistical analysis of results and time series analysis;
- Analysis of factors causing changes in groundwater resources;
- Other topics related to scientific monitoring of groundwater resources.
The authors can choose a submission type from the following:
- Original article;
- Review;
- Case or brief report;
- Concept paper;
- Project report.

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.
