Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the previous Special Issue “Automatic Detection of Seismic Signals” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/adss_sensors), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, entitled “Automatic Detection of Seismic Signals—Second Edition”.

Automatic detection and picking of seismic signals is crucial for seismic networks, which continuously monitor and work with huge volumes of data. In this situation, manual picking is tedious work in which some small events can go unnoticed and others can produce false alarms.

Accordingly, automatic picking algorithms are in constant development. New methodologies based on energy analysis, artificial neural networks, maximum likelihood methods, fuzzy logic theory, polarization analysis, hidden Markov models, autoregressive techniques, higher order statistics, wavelet transform, or template matching, among others, are continuously being investigated.

Accurate and reliable identification and detection of seismic phases is essential for subsequent real-time analysis. The information contained in the different seismic phases allows the expected magnitude, the epicentral location of an event, and other parameters that might be used by earthquake early-warning systems to be estimated.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the most recent advances in the automatic detection and phase picking of seismic signals. Topics related to this Special Issue of Sensors include, but are not limited to:

  • Automatic seismic event detection;
  • Accurate seismic phase picking;
  • Real-time processing of seismic signals;
  • New methodologies for the automatic estimation of earthquake parameters;
  • Monitoring and early-warning systems;
  • Using observations or measurements in near real-time to develop rapid shakemaps.

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.
