A pioneer in scholarly, open access publishing, MDPI has supported academic communities since 1996. Based in Basel, Switzerland, MDPI has the mission to foster open scientific exchange in all forms, across all disciplines.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (ISSN 2220-9964) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of geographic information. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information publishes regular research papers, reviews and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, three unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.

Geomatics (ISSN 2673-7418) is an international and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal, published quarterly online by MDPI. Geomatics is a modern, technology-driven discipline that integrates data acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization of geo-referenced information to support a wide range of applications in land, water, atmospheric, and extraterrestrial environments. Evolving from traditional surveying and mapping, Geomatics combines digital tools, sensor technologies, spatial algorithms, and geoinformatics to produce accurate 2D, 2.5D, and 3D representations essential for environmental monitoring, resource management, and informed decision-making. By providing validated spatial data and services, Geomatics serves as a vital foundation for scientific research, policy development, and sustainable solutions across diverse environmental and societal domains. Our aim is to publish papers on the latest advances, as well as review articles, concerning all aspects of the geomatic sciences and applications.

Remote Sensing is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal about the science and application of remote sensing technology, published semimonthly online by MDPI. The Remote Sensing Society of Japan (RSSJ) and Japan Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (JSPRS) are affiliated with Remote Sensing and their members receive discounts on the article processing charge.

Drones (ISSN 2504-446X) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal published monthly online. The journal focuses on the design and applications of drones, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs), etc. Likewise, contributions based on unmanned marine/water/underwater drones, unmanned ground vehicles, fully autonomous driving, and space drones are also welcome.

Land (ISSN 2073-445X) is an international, interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary open access journal of: Land system science and social–ecological system research; Land/land-use/land-cover change; Land management including agriculture, forestry, the built environment and others; Landscapes, landscape design and landscape planning; Land–climate interactions, including climate–biosphere–biodiversity interactions; Land/Soil/Water Systems: the interconnecting networks of biological, chemical, and physical systems; Urban contexts, urban–rural interactions and urban planning and development; Assessment and evaluation frameworks, indicators, indices, methods, tools and approaches (ecosystem services, multifunctionality and sustainability); The water, energy, land and food (WELF) nexus; Land, biodiversity and health nexus; Emerging technologies of data processing (deep learning/machine-based learning).

Fire (ISSN 2571-6255) is an international open-access journal about the science, policy, and technology of fires and how they interact with communities and the environment. Fire serves as an international forum for diverse scientific and practical knowledge to converge in the interest of promoting more safe, effective, and scientifically driven expertise in the policy, community actions, and operational management of fires. Fire was established in 2018 and was originally focused on fire ecology and the role of vegetation fires on the landscape. Today, the journal welcomes include a wider diversity of fire science topics.
