GNSS Seismology

Dear Colleagues,

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have become widely applied in seismology. In recent years, GNSS processing strategies have evolved, taking advantage of multiconstellation and multifrequency availability to improve the estimation of parameters relevant to seismology. Long-term deformation captured by GNSS has contributed to models of the interseismic and postseismic phases of the earthquake cycle, in addition to identification and monitoring of slow slip. Furthermore, high-rate and real-time GNSS observations are now recognized as a valuable complement to traditional seismic methods for rapid estimation of kinematic parameters of moderate to large magnitude earthquakes.

This Special Issue solicits submissions that focus on all the aspects of the contribution of GNSS to seismology and demonstration of the utility of GNSS for observation of different types of events (natural or anthropogenic). We encourage the proposal of innovative methods to improve accuracy, availability, reliability or latency of the estimates of parameters relevant to seismology, possibly through free and open source software (FOSS) development. We also seek applications of previously established strategies to raw observations collected by different class of receivers (e.g., low-cost and/or mass-market devices) or that are extended to multi-GNSS/multifrequency observations.

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.
