Feature Paper Collection on Remote Sensing in Geology, Geomorphology and Hydrology Section

Dear Colleagues,

As knowledge of global change advances, we realize the need to deepen our understanding of geological and geomorphological processes. These processes model the landscape and have an increasing impact on human life. The observations by Earth observation (EO) satellite systems, and improved mapping and analysis tools, are improving the understanding of the geological and environmental interactions that characterize the Earth. The development of new observation and analysis tools to monitor the types, magnitudes, and rates of geomorphological changes has become increasingly important not only for the study of geomorphological phenomena but also for defining useful solutions for environmental sustainability.

The Feature Paper Collection on Remote Sensing in Geology, Geomorphology and Hydrology Section aims to illustrate emerging methods, technologies, and EO applications for detecting, mapping, and monitoring geomorphological processes such as landsliding, erosion, and subsidence in natural and human environments. It may include sensors such as space-borne and Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR, GBSAR), Terrestrial and airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based, high-resolution multispectral data, and other sensors in use.

Themes may deal with a broad range of environments, from coastal to forest and desert areas, as well as glaciers or periglacial areas. Applications can be addressed to deepen the process dynamics in the natural environment or to help the evaluation of residual hazard in the presence of human settlements and infrastructure. The collection will include insights, novel developments, current challenges, and future perspectives in the field of remote sensing for geomorphology studies. Research articles and reviews are welcome.

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. 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 collection 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. 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.
