The Remote Sensing of Environment journal welcomes manuscript submissions for a special issue titled, “Thermal Remote Sensing for Terrestrial Ecosystem: Characteristics, Monitoring, and Assessment”. This special issue aims to highlight the use of thermal infrared data that advance scientific understanding of terrestrial ecosystems. Topics can include: methods for near surface air and land surface temperatures; surface energy balance; assessment of terrestrial ecosystems; urban heat islands and heatwaves; validation of land surface temperatures and emissivity products; development of multi-mission thermal infrared records; public health applications; evapotranspiration and plant stress; and land change and geological applications. Authors may submit their one-page abstracts related to original research, reviews, and short communications to Dr. George Xian, by April 10, 2020. Abstract acceptance notifications will be distributed by May 10, 2020, and authors of accepted abstracts may submit their manuscripts by December 30, 2020.
