Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Volcanoes are characterized by many natural hazards that need continuous monitoring, and part of the global population is directly at risk from volcanoes. Volcanic activities, in particular gas emissions and volcanic eruptions, are spectacular, but dangerous to study on-site. Furthermore, many hazardous volcanoes are located in remote areas, or have rudimentary or no ground monitoring.
In the last decades, satellite, airborne, and ground-based remote sensing have proved to be key tools to monitor active volcanoes, to assess their likelihood of eruption and determine impacts on the environment and infrastructures. From UV to microwave wavelengths, remote sensing has demonstrated unprecedented capabilities for volcano monitoring, and has been employed to study phenomena such as volcanic ash clouds, thermal anomalies associated with active lava flows and domes, and ground deformations due to magma intrusions. Nowadays, the scientific information retrieved is routinely employed in all phases of disaster risk management.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts focused on any topic related to remote sensing data for volcano monitoring, from innovative analysis techniques to studies on specific pre-eruptive/sin-eruptive events, with the aim of unravelling a variety of volcano-related geohazards, such as ash dispersion in the atmosphere, tephra fallout and lava flows, surface deformations, earthquakes, volcanic gases, landslides and hydrogeological hazards.
Contributions showing the synergistic use of multiple sensors, the integration of near-real time monitoring and the implementation in hazard level assessment and for volcanic risk mitigation are particularly welcome.

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.
