Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The determination of ground surface dynamics represents one of the most significant challenges of Earth Observation to study the impact of natural and human phenomena on the environment.
Climate, earthquakes, geodynamics, erosion, weathering, as well as human activities, primarily pumping groundwater and geothermal fluids, underground mining, and construction, can be investigated using surface ground movements.
The understanding of ground surface processes represents one of the most significant challenges to prevent loss of life, the damage of buildings and infrastructures, and to mitigate their heavy consequences on societies and economies.
The increase of the availability of multisatellite and multisensor SAR time-series specially promoted by European Space Agency through the platforms G-POD, GEP, and EO browser, the DIAS, is providing a high quality of ground displacement dataset over decades.
In this context, fusion of multisatellite and multisensor SARs series or the integration of SAR with GNSS and leveling holds great relevance.
In this Special Issue, we aim to bring together research and application contributions.
Suggestions for relevant research subjects are methods, case studies, and applications involving:
- Data calibration and validation;
- Data fusion from different radar platforms, operating at distinctive wavelengths and imaging modes;
- Combination of SAR LOS-projected ground displacement with 3D GNSS components and/or the vertical displacements derived by leveling;
- Combination of non-overlapped time frames;
- Theoretical studies concerning future SARs and their promises, and their integration with actual SARs.

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.
