Multiplatform Remote Sensing Techniques for Active Tectonics, Seismotectonics, and Volcanic Hazard Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

The development of remote sensing technologies and the possibility of reconstructing high-resolution ground models enable researchers to understand and monitor, with unprecedented precision, active deformations, seismogenic faults, and local- and regional-scale tectonic and volcanic processes, with obvious repercussions on the assessment of natural risks of endogenous origin.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect cutting-edge research that uses the most advanced techniques of remote sensing, such as GNSS, InSAR, LiDAR, GPR, DEM, and UAV DEMs, integrated by GIS and geomatic approaches, for expanding knowledge on active deformations, seismotectonics and present volcanic processes. The goals of this Special Issue include the following:

• Explore several remote sensing techniques to monitor crustal deformations caused by tectonic activities;
• Collect case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of remote sensing in seismic hazard assessment and prediction;
• Examine challenges and prospectives of integrating remote sensing into seismic monitoring systems and emergency management;
• Investigate how the application of GNSS, InSAR, LiDAR, GPR, magnetometry, and other remote sensing techniques contribute to the identification and characterization of active and seismogenic faults and volcano-related deformation;
• Explore the integration of GIS and geomatic tools with remote sensing for seismic hazard and tectonic process mapping;
• Provide insights into ground deformation modeling and 3D modeling techniques for geophysical applications.

This Special Issue will showcase the work of researchers, geologists, volcanologists, geophysicists, seismologists, and remote sensing experts interested in the application of advanced technologies in active tectonics, seismotectonics and volcanism-related deformation.

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 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.
