Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hazard information serves as a foundational element across all domains of disaster risk management, with a particular emphasis on hazard understanding as outlined in the United Nations’ Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Remote sensing has emerged as an indispensable tool for assessing various natural and human-induced hazards that impact our environment and society. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), as a distinctive subset within remote sensing, operates effectively in all weather conditions and during both day and night, providing a unique advantage. The significant strides of SAR technology over the last three decades, including resolution enhancement, multi-/full-polarization and interferometry, have led to its integration into a wide array of applications that encompass environmental monitoring and hazard management.
This special issue aims to showcase the latest advancements, innovative methodologies, and practical applications of SAR and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technologies in the field of hazard monitoring, modelling, assessment and mitigation. Our focus adheres to the UN’s Hazard definition and classification review (Technical Report), concentrating on the four hazard clusters: meteorological and hydrological hazards, geohazards, environmental hazards and technological hazards.
Within this special issue, we invite contributions of exceptional quality, including original research papers and review articles, that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- SAR/InSAR algorithms
- Geodetic accuracy and corrections
- Big data processing
- Multi-source data fusion
- Machine learning for SAR/InSAR
- SAR/InSAR for hazard early warning
- SAR/InSAR for hazard monitoring
- SAR/InSAR for hazard damage assessment
- SAR/InSAR for hazard mitigation and policy

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.
