Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seismic risk often arises from complex multi-hazard scenarios in which earthquakes trigger cascading events, including landslides, tsunamis, ground deformation, and infrastructure failure. Addressing these challenges requires an integrated approach, covering the full hazard chain from seismic source characterization to near-real-time monitoring and satellite observations.
This Special Issue, Seismic Multi-Hazard Mitigation from Source to Satellite: Applications and Technological Development, will highlight recent advances in seismology, geodesy, remote sensing, and data integration to improve hazard assessment, early warning, and risk mitigation. Contributions focusing on developments of new methodologies and operational applications, including Satellite Interferometry (SI), GNSS machine learning approaches, and decision-support systems for emergency management, are welcome.
The collaboration between ground-based and space-borne technologies demonstrates how emerging tools and interdisciplinary frameworks can improve our understanding of coupled hazards and their societal impacts. Notably, these applications advance seismogeodesy in Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWSs). These studies offer valuable insights for researchers, enhance the effectiveness of EEWSs for rapid response, help to mitigate hazard-related losses, and support policymakers in building resilient communities and effective mitigation strategies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geosciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
