Aims & Scope

Remote Sensing in Earth Systems Sciences is a quarterly scientific journal that publishes articles featuring the use of remote sensing data to study Earth processes. The journal’s interdisciplinary approach aims to include all aspects of the Earth Sciences. Coverage includes Atmospheric Sciences, Biogeosciences, Climate/Climate Change, Hydrology, the Cryosphere and Oceans. Great emphasis is place on articles that exist on the border of, or even transcend subfields. In addition, the journal’s scope encompasses everything from drone research to the latest governmental satellite missions. Also welcomes articles that demonstrate uses and techniques for managing “big data”.
