Geotextiles and Geomembranes

ISSN: 0266-1144
5 Year impact factor: 5.6
Impact factor: 5.2

An official Journal of the International Geosynthetics Society Geotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect or drain. As the use of geotextile fabrics has expanded there has been the introduction of geotextile composites and the development of products such as geogrids and meshes. Overall these materials are referred to as geotextiles and related products. All have a wide range of applications and are currently used to advantage in many civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, bank protection and coastal engineering. Geomembranes are impermeable membranes used widely as cut-offs and liners. Until recent years, geomembranes were used mostly as canal and pond liners; however, one of the largest current applications is to the containment of hazardous or municipal wastes and their leachates. In many of these applications geomembranes are employed with geotextile or mesh underliners which reinforce or protect the more flexible geomembrane whilst also acting as an escape route for gases and leachates generated in certain wastes. The range of products and their applications has expanded rapidly over the last decade with geotextiles and geomembranes being specified world wide. This rapid growth is paralleled by a virtual explosion of technology. Current reference books and even manufacturers' sponsored publications tend to date very quickly and the need for a vehicle to bring together and discuss the growing body of technology now available has become evident. Geotextiles and Geomembranes fills this need and provides a forum for the dissemination of information amongst research workers, designers, users and manufacturers. By providing a growing fund of information the journal increases general awareness, prompts further research and assists in the establishment of international codes and regulations. Types of Contribution: Refereed technical papers covering research, design, construction, applications and case studies; technical notes, professional practice papers, book reviews, reports of conferences and meetings, and letters to the Editor. All technical papers are open to written discussion. No limit to length is set and short notes are acceptable. Review articles may also be published at intervals, but the subject and contents of these should be discussed first with the Editor.

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

ISSN: 0924-2716
5 Year impact factor: 12.4
Impact factor: 12.7

Official Publication of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) The ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (P&RS) is the official journal of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). The Journal provides a channel of communication for scientists and professionals in all countries working in the many disciplines that employ photogrammetry, remote sensing, spatial information systems, computer vision, and related fields. The Journal is designed to serve as a source reference and archive of advancements in these disciplines. The P&RS objective is to publish high quality, peer-reviewed, preferably previously unpublished papers of a scientific/research, technological development or application/practical nature. P&RS will publish papers, including those based on ISPRS meeting presentations*, which are regarded as significant contributions in the above-mentioned fields. We especially encourage papers: of broad scientific interest; on innovative applications, particularly in new fields; of an interdisciplinary nature; on topics that have not been dealt with (or to a small degree) by P&RS or related journals; and on topics related to new possible scientific/professional directions. Preferably, theoretical papers should include applications, and papers dealing with systems and applications should include theoretical background. The scope of the journal is extensive and covers sensors, theory and algorithms, systems, experiments, developments and applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Sensors • Airborne and spaceborne multispectral and hyperspectral imaging systems • Airborne and terrestrial cameras • Airborne, terrestrial and mobile laser scanning • Range imaging • Active and passive imaging sensor characterisation • Sensor calibration and standardisation • Geosensor networks • Internet of Things Methods and procedures • Spatial data handling technologies • Integrated sensor calibration and orientation • Surface and object reconstruction, modelling and interpretation • GIS data modelling, representation and structures • Database systems • Mapping from imagery • Visualisation, animation and virtual reality • Physical measurements and spectral signatures • Point cloud processing • Extraction of geometric and semantic information from SAR • SAR Interferometry • Image classification algorithms • Image segmentation and GEOBIA • Image time series analysis • Hyperspectral data analysis • Big image data analysis • Crowd sourcing • Feature extraction Applications and products • 3D urban GIS • Close-range imaging and metrology • Architectural & archaeological photogrammetry • Determination of forest metrics • Medical image analysis and biometry • Resource and environmental modelling • Global monitoring and assessment • Thematic applications • DTM and orthoimage generation • Location based services Submitted articles may be: • Papers (detailed discussions involving new research, technological developments or applications); • Review Papers (extensive state-of-the-art surveys of established or emerging topics or application areas); or • Contributions for special Journal columns (letters to the Editor about the journal or to authors commenting on previously published papers; new useful ideas and brief pertinent comments of a technical nature; editorials, mainly after an invitation by the Editorial Advisory Board). NOTE: All articles, except correspondence, will be peer-reviewed and should be of high scientific level. * Journal paper submissions based on past conference publications are only allowed if the submitted manuscript is significantly extended or otherwise enhanced. That is, the journal article will only be considered if more extensive experiments and discussion are presented (even if the same methods are used) and/or the methods have been significantly improved and/or advanced (even if the same datasets have been used). The burden of explicitly describing the differences between these publications rests with the author(s). In case of a strong overlap with another publication, the manuscript should be rejected. P&RS issues may be devoted to specific scientific topics of high or increasing importance (Theme Issues), especially in relation to one or more ISPRS Working Groups, as well as to special events, geographic regions, professional activities etc. The number and topics of Theme Issues will be such that the P&RS still remains of interest to the majority of its subscribers.
