Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geohazards such as landslides, earthquakes, and floods have caused significant damage to urban areas around the world, affecting both the environment and human lives. Remote sensing techniques have proven to be an effective tool for monitoring and detecting these geohazards, providing valuable information for disaster risk management and urban planning. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in remote sensing technologies and methodologies for geohazard monitoring and detection in urban areas.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings, insights, and experiences relating to geohazard monitoring and detection using remote sensing techniques in urban areas. This Special Issue is in line with the scope of the Remote Sensing journal, which covers the application of remote sensing technologies in various fields, including geosciences and environmental monitoring.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that address the following themes:
- Innovative remote sensing technologies and methodologies for geohazard monitoring and detection in urban areas;
- The integration of multiple remote sensing data sources (e.g., optical, radar, LiDAR) for geohazard mapping and analysis;
- Machine learning and deep learning approaches for geohazard detection and classification using remote sensing data;
- Urban resilience and disaster risk reduction strategies based on remote sensing information;
- Case studies of geohazard monitoring and detection in urban areas using remote sensing techniques.
We welcome contributions that provide novel insights, innovative approaches, and practical implications for geohazard monitoring and detection in urban areas using remote sensing technologies.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
