Marine Geology and Coastal Geomorphology from Remote Sensing Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

Over the course of time, the application of remote sensing techniques for detection, mapping and observation of the seafloor has provided multidisciplinary information regarding the structure and the environmental regime of the seafloor in both recent and older times. The knowledge gained contributes to the understanding of seafloor dynamics, the response of the seafloor to long- and short-term natural and human-driven processes, the exploitation of oil, gas and other mineral reserves, and seafloor exploration for civil facilities and renewable energy structures. Technological advances in the acquisition of data and advances in processing and analytical procedures of the acquired data have widened the range of information in terms of water depth, from the abyssal to subaerial-exposed areas; of seafloor depth, from the surface to kilometers beneath the seafloor; of the time occurrence of the studying event, from the present time to millions of years ago; and of the types of material, from solid, fluids and ecological material to human-related material, for example, archaeological artifacts and polluting materials.

This Special Issue invites you to submit high-quality research based on the application of remote sensing and analytical techniques dealing with issues related to the following:

• Seafloor seismic stratigraphy, including all types of geohazards (i.e., earthquakes, submarine landslides, tsunamis, natural gas hydrate dissociation, shallow gas, mud volcanoes and mud diapirism).
• Detecting and monitoring seafloor gas emissions, in particular as contributors to climatic change.
• Mapping of the seafloor and coastal geomorphology, including marine habitats and archaeological sites.
• Remote sensing techniques used for the exploitation of traditional resources and renewable energy structures on the seafloor and coastal zone.
• Coastal evolution.
• Recording and monitoring of the response of seafloor and coasts to human- and climatic change-related processes (i.e., sea level rise, pollution, anoxia, aridification) .
• Innovative techniques for the acquisition and analysis of sediments.
• Contributions of remote sensing to the monitoring and management of the seafloor and coasts.

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.
