Seismology and Earthquake Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous threat of earthquake events makes the constant and meticulous monitoring of active fault structures a necessity. Indeed, remote sensing techniques focused on earthquake events and their effects, active tectonic analyses and seismic hazard assessment have proven a powerful tool kit for the scientific community. In recent decades, many new techniques have been deployed to understand how earthquakes affect the natural and built environment. 

It is possible to separate the issue of remote sensing data application into a few items: tectonic analysis of seismoactive regions, earthquake prediction and modeling of lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling in seismic processes. Tectonic analysis does not provide essential information about earthquake mechanisms; satellite radar interferometry may not be able to capture preseismic deformation in time; and methods based on visible and thermal bands suffer from cloud cover.

The aim of this collection is to collect new research and developments in the field. We invite the submission of original contributions exploring the current research trends to be presented in this collection.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
