Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing surveys, such as seismic and radar techniques, have been employed for decades to unravel subsurface geology at different scales and levels of resolution on Earth. More recently, radar techniques have been used to study planetary bodies (i.e., Mars) via their inclusion in rovers and satellites. In recent years, research and industrial studies based on seismic and radar surveys have made great progress in theory, numerical simulations, experiments, and observations. Thanks to new technologies used to acquire, process/reprocess and interpret subsurface data, the resolution and overall efficiency, as well as the data quantity and quality, have drastically improved, reducing the logistic efforts and, thus, the environmental impact.
This Special Issue focuses on the results obtained from the development and application of new configurations, methods and technologies in seismic and radar exploration to enhance the interpretability of subsurface geological features on Earth and other planetary bodies. We welcome contributions that propose more exhaustive, integrated and detailed subsurface geological models for geological, environmental and energy exploration, geodynamics, earthquake, seismotectonics, etc., studies at various scales.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome; potential research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Passive and active seismic surveys;
- Terrestrial, planetary analogues and planetary radar (and GPR) surveys;
- Theory and numerical simulations;
- Laboratory experiments;
- Processing and re-processing;
- Pre-conditioning techniques and attribute analysis, including AI tools;
- Applications in geological and environmental studies and case histories.
We look forward to receiving your contributions; please feel free to share this call for papers with anyone you know who is interested in these topics.

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.
