    Remote Sensing of Arctic Tundra

Editors of the "Remote Sensing" journal announce a call for manuscripts
for a special issue entitled "Remote Sensing of Arctic Tundra." The
issue will be coordinated by guest editors Howard E. Epstein and Martha
K. Reynolds.

Remote Sensing is an international, peer-reviewed, and open access
journal published monthly. This special issue seeks to bring together a
cross-section of papers focused on work that utilizes the broad array of
remote sensing platforms (e.g., handheld, drone, airborne, and
satellite) and sensors (e.g., optical, microwave, radar, LiDAR), across
spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions and extents to examine the
patterns and dynamics of Arctic tundra systems.

Manuscripts should be submitted online and can be submitted until the
deadline. Papers will be published continuously, as soon as accepted,
and listed together on the special issue website. Research articles,
review articles, and communications are invited. For planned papers, a
title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be submitted for
announcement on the website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be
under consideration for publication elsewhere, except for conference
proceedings papers. All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review
process.

Manuscript submission deadline: 1 September 2017.
