Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are disruptive forces that can endanger human life and properties. These types of solid-earth processes may generate seismic waves that can excite the atmosphere’s Rayleigh, acoustic, and gravity waves. The generated waves can travel vertically upward and dissipate their energy in the earth's upper atmosphere, causing significant plasma density perturbation at ionospheric altitudes. Ocean–atmosphere interactions, e.g., convective activities, tropical depressions, and hurricanes can also produce different classes of wave, such as primary and secondary gravity waves, that can travel to the lower thermosphere. Other events such as anthropogenic explosions have also been reported to excite acoustic and internal gravity waves. A comprehensive understanding of the consequences of natural hazard events on the natural atmosphere and the ability to detect, distinguish, and characterize their impact on our upper atmosphere is vital in understanding wave interactions between the lower and upper atmosphere and, ultimately, important for the development of space-based early warning systems for real-time scenarios.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in detecting and characterizing different waves generated from natural hazards and their effects on the ionosphere. It also seeks to provide state-of-the-art perspectives on strategies to develop earthquake/tsunami early warning systems through the use of modern technological tools such as the deep-ocean assessment and reporting of tsunamis system (DART), tide gauge sensors, satellites systems, low-frequency array (LOFAR) and GNSS receivers, incoherent scatter radar (ISR) systems, and magnetometers, as well as develop comprehensive new modeling tools.

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.
