Our Special Issue:
MICROWAVES IN CLIMATE CHANGE
is due out at the end of October and will likely be released in two parts, with part 2 coming out in January 2025.
We currently have 18 paper contributions from a wide range of climate scientists and microwave groups currently in the last phases of review.
Background: Based on feedback from our special series article, “Making Waves: Microwaves in Climate Change,” the IEEE Journal of Microwaves is putting together a full special issue on this extremely prescient topic area. Microwave devices, instruments, systems, measurements, applications, and data analysis provide enabling technology and science retrieval in areas related to climate tracking, atmospheric chemistry and evolution, alternative energy development, efficient generation and usage of non-fossil-based fuels, waste conversion, electrification, transportation management, and every sector of the society relying on communications.
We solicited articles on the following topics as well as entertaining alternative suggestions from interested contributors:
- Active and Passive Microwave Remote Sensing
- Microwave Heating
- Microwave Generation of Alternative Fuels and Catalysts
- Microwave Power Beaming
- Microwave Energy Harvesting
- Microwaves in Fusion and Energy Generation
- Low-Loss Microwave Transmission
- Microwaves in Waste Management
- Microwave Assisted Chemistry
- Microwaves in Geophysics
- Microwave Data Analysis for Climate Research
- Microwave Tracking for Habitat Assessment and Animal Science
- Microwave Resource Monitoring
- Other topics related to climate science and relevant resource monitoring
Although the deadline for contributions has long passed, we will be publishing and highlighting articles on this subject throughout 2025. If you have a particular idea or topic you would like to contribute, please contact Peter Siegel, JMW Editor-in-Chief (phs@caltech.edu).
Manuscripts should be formatted and submitted using the instructions, templates, and links that can be found at: https://mtt.org/publications/journal-of-microwaves/manuscript-submission/. Contributed papers should be targeted at ten pages but review and special invited papers can be longer. All submissions will be reviewed in accordance with the normal procedures of the journal. Please tag uploaded papers as “Special Issue” through our Author Portal.
We hope you will consider contributing to this Special Issue topic of IEEE Journal of Microwaves and continue to support the journal through your regular research submissions.
