The journal Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292, IF 5.349) is currently running a Special Issue entitled, “Remote Sensing Applications in Flood Forecasting and Monitoring.” Dr. Sk Ajim Ali, Dr. Bahram Choubin, Dr. Farhana Parvin, Dr. Quoc Bao Pham, and Dr. Meriame Mohajane are serving as Guest Editors for this issue. We think you could make an exceptional contribution based on your expertise in this particular field.
Considering all these advantages of remote sensing, the main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a scientific forum for advancing the successful application of remote sensing (RS) technologies and geographic information system (GIS)-based methods toward flood forecasting and monitoring in various flood-prone terrains on Earth, as well as to foster informed discussions among scientists and stakeholders on this pressing issue.
This Special Issue aims to provide an outlet for high-quality peer-reviewed publications that implement state-of-the-art methods and techniques incorporating geoinformatics-based methods to map, evaluate, and model flood forecasting, its monitoring, and their implications, together with the framing of newer hypotheses that can further understandings of the operative processes.
The Special Issue may include (without being limited to) the following themes:
- The role of remote sensing in flood assessment and risk management;
- Flood disaster studies with a remote sensing perspective;
- Flood preparedness and remote sensing: flood forecasting;
- Remote sensing in flood emergency mapping (FEM) for disaster response;
- Climate change and floods;
- Estimation of future floods based on urban land use and land cover;
- Mapping, assessing, and monitoring the floods in urban and coastal areas;
- Remote sensing and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs);
- Remote sensing and the flood early warning system (FEWS);
- Urbanization and urban flood prediction.
Given your competence in this area, we invite you to contribute a paper on the aforementioned subjects or any relevant issues.
With best regards,
Dr. Sk Ajim Ali Dr. Bahram Choubin Dr. Farhana Parvin Dr. Quoc Bao Pham Dr. Meriame Mohajane Guest Editors
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.
