The design, performance, and application of sensors for geoinformatics and remote sensing have become more essential to understanding the physical, ecological, hydrological, and environmental characteristics of Earth surfaces. Original research articles and literature review papers addressing the state-of-the-art sensor technologies and methods in applying geospatial technologies, which include geospatial information sciences (GIS), remote sensing (RS), photogrammetry, and global positioning system (GPS), are welcome. The objective of this special issue is to create a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on recent advances in sensor technologies and methods for geoinformatics and remote sensing as well as new applications to biology, ecology, hydrology, engineering, and so on.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Novel sensor design and platforms development
• Multisensor system design and onboard processing
• Advances in sensors for remote sensing
• Multisensor integration
• Multiplatform remote sensing
• Geospatial data models with sensors
• Spatial big data analysis in sensors
