From the Editors of the Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks and Remote Sensing for Environmental Applications

In March 2018, the first IEEE International Environmental Engineering Conference was held in Milan. The main goal of this event was to foster cross-disciplinary knowledge dissemination and innovation in environmental engineering and to promote a sustainable future for the environment. One of the special tracks was on Wireless Sensor Networks and Remote Sensing for Environmental Applications, including technologies, methodologies, systems, and applications for environmental engineering, specifically for monitoring and control of natural and artificial environments to ensure their livability and future sustainability as well as the well-being of individuals and the community. In the 2019 June volume, the first installment of the Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks and Remote Sensing for Environmental Applications has been issued. In this October volume, the second part of our special issue aims to collect and share with the wider IEEE AES Society other examples of emerging and innovative techniques based on the use of satellite and sensor network data for Earth observation and monitoring with the goal of protecting urban and not urban environment.
