Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs), nowadays, multi-frequency and multi-constellation GNSSs represented by BDS and Galileo have played an irreplaceable role in the field of geoscience, including earthquake warning, geodynamics, meteorology, and deformation monitoring. Although real-time kinematic positioning (RTK), precise point positioning (PPP), and PPP-RTK have the ability to provide a centimeter- or millimeter-level positioning accuracy, they are easily affected by observation environments, resulting in insufficient stability, continuity, and credibility of positioning. Meanwhile, due to their high equipment costs, it is difficult to target consumer-level mass users. To further expand the application scenarios of multi-GNSSs in geoscience and achieve industrialization, new theories, models, and methods need to be urgently proposed.
This Special Issue of Remote Sensing aims to collect papers on the advanced algorithms for multi-GNSS high-precision positioning, multi-sensor integrated data processing, and their applications in geoscience. We welcome both theoretical and applied research contributions that cover the following aspects:
(1) Multi-GNSS RTK, PPP, PPP-AR, and PPP-RTK;
(2) Multi-GNSS and pseudolite/low Earth orbiter (LEO) integrated positioning;
(3) Multi-GNSS and multi-sensor integrated positioning using affordable equipment;
(4) Monitoring of ionospheric irregularities, scintillation, and disturbance based on the multi-GNSS;
(5) Retrieval of precipitable water vapor (PWV) and atmosphere mean temperature using multi-GNSSs;
(6) Surface deformation monitoring such as seismic displacements and mining subsidence using multi-GNSSs.

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.
