Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of multi-GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BDS and Galileo) and improvements in InSAR imaging allows for the acquisition of both continuous and spatially extensive datasets over large regions of the Earth. These datasets are able to capture, with high resolution, the deformations occurring at various spatial and temporal scales, therefore providing important constraints on ongoing crustal processes. Most of these datasets are used on a large scale to provide strong constraints of the motion of plates and crustal blocks. Moreover, these datasets are also used to study pre-eruptive inflation, dike intrusion and co-eruptive deflation on active volcanoes, as well as the co- and post-seismic deformation fields related to large earthquakes and the detection of subsidence associated with the extraction of mineral resources from the subsoil. Novel techniques such as GNSS reflectometry have shown a high potential to provide valuable information on ocean, land, or the cryosphere. Advanced InSAR processing techniques are currently enabling the production of high-quality maps of wide areas characterized by rapid changes such as the ones damaged by earthquakes, fires, floods, etc.
This Special Issue aims to provide a complete state-of-the-art description of all the topics mentioned above. Review contributions as well as papers describing new measurement concepts/sensors are welcomed.

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. 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.
