Remote Sensing in Space Geodesy and Cartography Methods (Fourth Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, the massive amounts of remote sensing data obtained from space geodetic techniques, such as satellite gravimetry, satellite geodesy, GNSS, InSAR, and LiDAR, have greatly advanced the field of space geodesy and have also facilitated innovation in data mining and cartography methods. As new space platforms are continuously developed and novel measurements obtained, space geodesy and cartography are faced with unprecedented challenges and opportunities; these include the accurate determination of Earth’s shape and gravity field, the better visualization of multisource data, and the construction of a digital Earth. All of these fields require more advanced and sophisticated remote sensing methods and applications.

It is our pleasure to announce the new edition of the Special Issue "Remote Sensing in Space Geodesy and Cartography Methods (Fourth Edition)". This Special Issue will highlight remote sensing methods and applications in space geodesy and cartography, embracing the scope of the Satellite Missions for Earth and Planetary Exploration section of Remote Sensing.

This Special Issue will publish studies covering all aspects of satellite gravimetry, satellite altimetry, satellite optical/multispectral/hyperspectral/SAR remote sensing, GNSS, LiDAR, deep space detection, space geodetic theory and techniques, the space environment, and the digital Earth; additionally, we are interested in theory, methods, techniques, algorithms, data validation, scientific products, and applications. Review articles are also welcome. Articles may address, but are not limited to, the following:

• Digital Earth;
• Topography and thematic mapping;
• Earth shape and gravity field modeling;
• Co-ordinate reference frame and deformation monitoring;
• Planet geodesy and cartography;
• Space environment and deep space detection.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
