"Volcano Remote Sensing", a special issue in journal Remote Sensing
*****************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit papers to a special Issue, "Volcano Remote Sensing", in the open-access journal Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292):
Remote sensing has played an increasingly important role on monitoring virtually all of approximate 1500 of the world’s potentially active volcanoes. Volcano remote sensing encompasses measurements from passive optical to active radar sensors. In a broad sense, the remote sensing of volcanoes means measuring volcanic activity without the need for in-situ observations and so also includes data and observations from seismological and global positioning system (GPS) networks. Therefore, remote sensing constitutes a crucial element for understanding how the Earth’s volcanoes work, and where, when, and why they erupt. Essential remote sensing techniques on volcano monitoring, include, but are not limited to, ground surface deformation and topographic change mapping, earthquake analysis, thermal anomaly mapping, and detecting, measuring and tracking volcanic gases and ash from eruption plumes and clouds. This special issue invites innovative remote sensing analysis methods and applications on monitoring various aspects of the Earth’s volcanoes. Synergetic use of multiple sensing tools as well as monitoring volcanoes on an arc or continent scale are particularly welcome.
For further information, please visit website at http://www.mdpi.com/si/remotesensing/volcano. The submission deadline is July 31, 2015.
