Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Land subsidence is a major problem that occurs worldwide and exponentially growing. It stands for the gradual or sudden lowering of the Earth’s level. Natural and anthropogenic interventions cause land subsidence. The natural causes include tectonic processes, isostasy, crustal loading by ice sheets, and sediment compaction at river deltas. On the other hand, anthropogenic subsidence can be caused by oil extraction, water injection, peat oxidation, and construction loading over soft soil.

The advances in geodetic satellite technologies and remote sensing enable excellent Earth observation capabilities and inherit invaluable ground movement legacy. For instance, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are widely used to establish continuously operating reference stations (CORS). It provides a set of time series over scattered sites over specified areas. In addition, the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is also used for mapping land subsidence through the phase difference of the radar images. InSAR technology enables extensive spatial mapping compared to scattered sites obtained by GNSS.

This Special Issue welcomes high-quality research and studies that address the most recent advancements, including but not limited to:

  • Monitoring, identification, prediction, and analysis of land subsidence using GNSS positioning.
  • Change detection techniques based on satellite and terrestrial remote sensing imageries and digital image correlation
  • InSAR technology for geophysical surface deformation due to Volcanoes, landslides, earthquakes, and glaciers
  • Advanced land subsidence methodologies and integration with hydrological and metrological models

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.

Land subsidence (LS) is becoming one of the major problems in coastal and delta cities worldwide. Understanding the current LS situation and the research trends is of paramount importance for further studies and addressing future international research networks. We analyzed the LS-related literature available from the Scopus database. The use of a single database avoided the redundancy of articles, while excluding some subject areas was useful to obtain only studies related to LS. By using VOSviewer and CiteSpace tools, we conducted a bibliometric analysis by considering title, keywords, and abstract to identify the temporal development, the geographical origin, and the area of study of the research. The results revealed a considerable heterogeneity of approaches, thematics, study areas, and research output trends. China, the US, and Italy are the major contributors to the scientific production, but the higher number of articles is not always related to the extension of the LS phenomenon in these countries. The monitoring approach differs worldwide, and univocal modeling is still lacking; from the analysis of the keywords, it is clear that the focus of most studies is on the relationship with the hydrological/hydrogeological aspects. Since the 2000s, however, the development of SAR technologies has boosted the study of the phenomenon from a different point of view. Full article
