Contemporary Remote Sensing of Volcanic Activity

Dear Colleagues,

The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of space and airborne remote sensors with the capability of monitoring volcanic processes. Indeed, the field of volcanic remote sensing has gone from strength to strength in recent years, despite the fact that no sensor has even been launched with the sole purpose of making volcanic observations. The new generations of sensors, no longer solely administered by a select few agencies, are providing a wealth of data at the highest ever temporal, spatial, and radiometric resolutions. These developments provide the opportunity for making volcanic observations in unprecedented detail and, as such, are likely to lead to new insights into terrestrial volcanism. This Special Issue aims to capture and consolidate these new insights, thereby furthering the field of volcanic remote sensing and ensuring that it remains a priority area of remote sensing for decades to come.

We seek articles for this Special Issue of Remote Sensing that utilise some of the newest sensors available for volcanic process monitoring, including those that monitor thermal emissions, gas/ash plumes, and/or surface deformation, and from sensors based remotely in space or in the air. We are also interested in new or improved algorithms or techniques for processing such data.

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.
