Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has revolutionized geophysics, providing geophysicists with unprecedented insights into Earth's subsurface dynamics. Remote sensing captures detailed spatial data from a distance, while GIS enables its integration, analysis, and visualization, facilitating the investigation of geological phenomena, subsurface mapping, and resource management.
Remote sensing satellites equipped with sophisticated sensors, including multispectral, hyperspectral, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR), collect vast amounts of data with remarkable spatial and temporal resolution. These data offer valuable insights into surface features, terrain characteristics, and environmental changes, supporting comprehensive geological studies. GIS serves as the digital backbone for organizing, analyzing, and interpreting geospatial data collected through remote sensing. By integrating remote sensing imagery with other geophysical datasets, such as gravity and magnetic and seismic data, GIS facilitates the development of comprehensive geological models and the identification of subsurface structures. GIS-based spatial analysis tools enable the precise delineation of geological boundaries, the characterization of rock formations, the vulnerability and damage assessment of natural disasters, and the mapping of potential mineral deposits.
This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted applications and advancements at the intersection of remote sensing, GIS, and geophysics. Through original research articles, case studies, and reviews, we showcase innovative methodologies, tools, and approaches for leveraging remote sensing and GIS technology in geological exploration, subsurface mapping, and environmental monitoring.

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.
