Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geohazards are geological and environmental conditions that may contribute to widespread damage or risk. These long-term or short-term geological processes may occur on a massive scale (e.g., landslides and tsunamis) and significantly impact regional economies.
While human activities can exacerbate these risks, the use of remote sensing and GIS for geohazards and disaster management can contribute to new insights into geohazards, their antecedent conditions, causes and impacts. The current generation of geomatics solutions can provide new opportunities for the real-time analysis and management of geohazards and disaster risks. For example, GIS can provide improved understanding into important hazards, risk and disaster questions such as: How to mitigate disaster risk? How do human activities (i.e., land use and landcover change) affect geohazards? What are the spatial impacts of climate variability and change? This Special Issue encourages papers on the use of cross-disciplinary, integrated, real-time and affordable GIS solutions suitable for hazard and disaster management. Research contributions dealing with GIS for system interoperability and scalability 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. 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.
