Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several scientific societies’ commissions, e.g., IAEG C35 Commission “Monitoring methods and approaches in engineering geology applications” or the ISPRS Inter-commission ICWG I/II “UAS & Small Multi-sensor Platforms: Concepts & Applications”, recognized the rising impact of UAVs in Earth Sciences and particularly in the landslide characterization and monitoring fields. The possibility to rapidly deploy the drone, perform the survey, including areas hindered by limited or difficult access, and the advantages of structure from Motion/Multi-View Stereo algorithms are the key elements that allowed the UAVs to establish themselves as a leading approach. The use of cutting-edge sensors mounted as payloads such as LiDAR, multispectral cameras, etc., and their integration, can further improve the final result with supplementary data to expand the knowledge of the studied processes.
Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit recent works related to UAV applications, with a focus on payload exploitation, in landslide investigations in the form of an article. The use of open-source approaches is highly appreciated. The preliminary submission of a short abstract outlining the aims of the research and its main results is encouraged to check, at an early stage, if the contribution fits the scope of the Special Issue.

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.
