The MDPI journal Remote Sensing recently launched a special issue on “Remote Sensing of Glaciers at Global and Regional Scales", which is now open for submission. We would like to invite those of you working in this field to submit an article to this special issue by 28 February 2019.
This special issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent and upcoming advances in the application of satellite remote sensing to monitoring changes in the state of the Earth's mountain glaciers and ice caps, at regional and global scale. This excludes the main ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, but we do welcome studies focusing on their peripheral glaciers and ice caps, including the Antarctic Peninsula.
For more information about the Special Issue, and potential topics, please see:

Last year, a highly interesting special issue with a similar focus was published, edited by Frank Paul (University of Zurich) and colleagues. An overview of the papers published in this issue can be found here:
