Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volcanoes and earthquakes are among the most dynamic and dangerous natural phenomena on our planet, and they pose serious threats to human life, infrastructure, and the environment. Monitoring and understanding these phenomena are important for disaster preparedness and risk mitigation. Over the past few decades, satellite-based earth observation (EO) has revolutionised how we observe, analyse, and react to geophysical hazards, providing an unprecedented perspective of the Earth's surface from space.
This Special Issue aims to gather state-of-the-art studies and innovative methods devoted to the use of active and passive satellite remote sensing for detecting, monitoring, and analysing seismic and volcanic activity. These techniques provide continuous and regional observations, providing essential information even in remote or inaccessible regions, regardless of weather conditions and daylight hours.
We welcome submissions that describe new algorithms, data fusion techniques, AI-based solutions, and case studies demonstrating the operational use of satellite data in observing active volcanoes and seismically active regions. Sensor synergy, satellite–ground network combination, and multi-mission approaches are specifically encouraged.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue, which aims to advance the current state of knowledge and ensure the interdisciplinary coordination of satellite-based geohazard monitoring.

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.
