For the first 15 STEREO III papers published, the STEREO programme will pay 1.200 CHF (nearly 50% of the total APC - 2,500 CHF).
Deadline for manuscript submission: 15 July 2022
Special Issue Information
For over 35 years now, Belgian scientists have been turning remote sensing data from the poles to the tropics into actionable information supported by the research program STEREO. This continuous support has enabled the development of a rich scientific community and research infrastructure in Belgium. High spatial, spectral and temporal resolution data is increasingly available from satellites, airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and terrestrial platforms. In this special issue we aim at collecting papers that
- Illustrate the application and potential of Earth observation tools in the sustainable management of a densely populated country in environments such as agriculture, forests and nature reserves, coasts and cities;
- Demonstrate the capabilities offered by new optical, radar, hyperspectral and Lidar data to study the Earth system; and
- Showcase the benefits of a strong remote sensing community for the calibration/validation of sensors and data analysis tools. Any author affiliated to Belgian institutions is invited to contribute and researchers working in the framework of the STEREO programme are particularly targeted.
