Remote Sensing of Environmental Changes in Cold Regions

<p>This Special Issue gathers papers reporting recent advances in the remote sensing of cold regions. It includes contributions presenting improvements in modeling microwave emissions from snow assessment of satellite-based sea ice concentration products satellite monitoring of ice jam and glacier lake outburst floods satellite mapping of snow depth and soil freeze/thaw states near-nadir interferometric imaging of surface water bodies and remote sensing-based assessment of high arctic lake environment and vegetation recovery from wildfire disturbances in Alaska. A comprehensive review is presented to summarize the achievements challenges and opportunities of cold land remote sensing.</p>
