Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Landslides involve excessive movement of natural and man-made slopes, usually along a slip surface, often triggered by prolonged rainfall or earthquakes. They are one of the most destructive hazards in the world. Furthermore, in many arid planar regions of the world, ground subsidence induced by the lowering of the water table line due to pumping has recently caused damage to houses and other overlying structures. Landslides occurrences and ground subsidence are expected to increase in the near future as a result of global warming, where rainfall patterns are changing.
The significance of the hazard describe above generates the need to study and propose prediction methods both in a regional and global scale. Recently, rigorous machine learning methods have been applied in regional landslide susceptibility mapping in terms of landslide inventory maps and relevant factors affecting ground instability. In addition, recently new technologies, such as space interferometry have been developed which provide cost-effective measurements of past ground displacement data. Furthermore, past ground subsidence data has recently been analyzed in order to provide in-situ measurement of the underlying soil consolidation process, needed for the prediction of future ground subsidence.
Yet, application of such modern methods, technologies and analyses in ground displacement and landslide susceptibility are still in a preliminary investigative stage. This special issue of Remote Sensing invites papers in the interesting and timely topic of “Prediction of ground displacement and landslide susceptibility based on past relevent data”.

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.
