Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a changing climate, terrestrial water redistribution, glacier and permafrost degradation, and rising sea levels are major challenges to global sustainable development. Satellite geodetic techniques provide accurate measurements of the solid Earth, its surficial fluids, and their changes over time with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution and coverage. They are emerging tools for continuously monitoring changes in terrestrial water storage, ice mass or volume, sea level, etc. Geodetic techniques such as GNSS, gravimetry, altimetry, InSAR, and GNSS interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) have exhibited great potential in monitoring changes in terrestrial water storage, soil moisture storage, groundwater level, surficial water level, permafrost, and glacier and ice sheet mass and volume. This progress has greatly strengthened our ability to observe and understand the complex ongoing changes in the Earth system.
This Special Issue incorporates satellite geodetic applications to hydrology, glaciology, solid Earth deformation, oceanography, and atmosphere. We invite papers that creatively use satellite geodetic techniques to monitor and understand regional or global hydrological processes, glacial and permafrost changes, and sea level changes in response to climate change. We also invite papers introducing influential scientific missions for future satellite-based Earth observation systems.

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.
