Special Issue Information
Geohazards, including earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, floods, volcanic eruptions, and glacier and permafrost melting, but also slower processes of ground deformation, erosion, and sediment transport, changes in fluvial courses, wildfires and associated hazards, and even natural and anthropic changes in land cover and use can pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and the environment. Remote sensing technologies have proven themselves to be invaluable tools for monitoring, assessing, and mitigating the impact of geohazards. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in remote sensing techniques and methodologies for geohazard detection, monitoring, and management, focusing both on site-specific applications and regional studies.
We invite contributions covering a wide range of topics related to geohazards and remote sensing, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Earthquake monitoring and early warning systems using satellite imagery.
- Landslide detection and risk assessment through remote sensing data.
- Volcanic activity monitoring using spaceborne and airborne sensors.
- Tsunami and flood modelling using satellite observations.
- Integration of multi-sensor data for comprehensive geohazard analysis.
- Use of remote sensing for assessing the impact of geohazards on infrastructure.
- Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence for geohazard detection.

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.
