Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue calls for papers on interdisciplinary scientific findings applying active and passive remote sensing techniques and focusing on Tibet, Siberia Xinjiang, and Central Asia. We encourage synergistic investigations of integrating multiple remote sensing data sets that lead to new insights and potential separations of competing geophysical, cryospheric, hydrologic, and climatic processes, previously limited by data scarcity. Papers should use tools related to remote sensing to study climate change and geophysical processes in Tibet, Siberia, and their surrounding areas. Subjects include, but are not limited to:
- Long-term monitoring of surface processes from satellite altimeter, SAR/InSAR, optical/infrared imageries, and GNSS
- Satellite and terrestrial-based gravimetric, gradiometric and geomagnetic observations
- GNSS geodynamics, meteorology and ionosphere
- Terrestrial hydrology, groundwater, glacier change, lake level change, permafrost thawing, water resources
- Geophysical interpretations and consequences of gravity, GNSS, satellite altimetry, and seismic observations
- Crustal structure, Moho, internal structure constraints, continental geodynamics, earthquakes

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 2500 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.
