Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) is the reference institution for the Italian Government for the monitoring of volcanoes and earthquakes in Italy. INGV was established in 1999 with the D.L. 381/1999. INGV researchers are focused on the study of the geological processes causing volcanic activity and earthquakes. This field increasingly involves the use of remote sensing techniques for the safe, fast and reliable obtainment of information and monitoring of volcanoes and earthquakes over the entire Italian territory.
The interpretation of monitoring data infers the state of activity of a volcanic system. This requires a good understanding of the processes that drive volcanic activities and generate observable signals. Comparison between numerical modelling of volcanic processes and observations retrieved from remote sensing is useful for theoretical models and contributes to the interpretation of monitoring data. The multiparametric approach has been successfully implemented in data analysis, permitting the realization of an integrated method for the definition of the unrest phases and for accurate forecasting and characterization of volcanic activity. From this perspective, the elucidation of the correlations among different ground-based remote sensing systems and satellite imagery is critical. Contributions on novel methodologies and applications are welcome.
This Special Issue will collect a variety of papers on the integration of ground-based and remote sensing techniques for investigating recent eruptions occurring in the Italian territory and beyond, with a focus on data assimilation to volcano-related models and comparison between remote sensing data and theoretical models.
Papers on multiparametric analysis of data with different geodetic instruments and possible implications for emergency response and operational efforts of civil defence are welcome.
We also encourage case histories featuring the novel use of remote sensing techniques to monitor and mitigate volcanic events (unrest, eruptions).

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.
