Geographic Visualization: Evaluation and Monitoring of Geohazards—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue entitled “Geographic Visualization: Evaluation and Monitoring of Geohazards”.

We are seeking submissions for a new Special Issue entitled “Geographic Visualization: Evaluation and Monitoring of Geohazards—2nd Edition”.

Geohazards (geological hazards), which refers to the risk of damage that can be caused by geological processes, include landslides, earthquakes, subsidence, volcanoes, tsunamis, mining hazards, etc. Although geohazards can cause great damage to the natural environment and humans, it is not easy to identify the signs of most geohazards before they occur. Therefore, in order to predict and deal with these geological accidents in advance, it is necessary to monitor changes in the geological environment and evaluate the possibility of their occurrence. Spaceborne, airborne, and ground-based sensors can be used for observation purposes. The evaluation of hazardous areas based on monitoring data is an important topic of research for this Special Issue. Recently, various data-driven approaches have been used to evaluate geohazards. Depending on the type of geohazards, their impact may be local or extensive. Therefore, it is very important to visualize them effectively. GIS-based geographic visualization and 3D visualization technologies based on virtual reality and augmented reality are also within the scope of this Special Issue.

For this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the field of geohazards. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as are comprehensive reviews and survey papers.

This Special Issue will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including (but not limited to) the following:

• Geohazards—landslides, earthquakes, ground subsidence, volcanoes, tsunamis, mining hazards;
• Monitoring—remote sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), ground-based sensors;
• Evaluation—geospatial analysis, machine learning, numerical analysis;
• Visualization—Geographic information systems (GISs), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR).

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
