Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploitation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging is rising higher and higher on the agenda of researchers, professionals and stakeholders working in the field of geomatics, geodesy, surveying, Earth sciences, land management and monitoring.
Through their all-weather and day/night sensing capabilities, range of frequency bands, manifold spatial and temporal resolutions, like and cross polarizations, and looking modes and beams, SAR data can provide key geoinformation for a number of geoscience applications.
This Special Issue of Geomatics aims to gather research articles, reviews and short communications on all aspects of SAR for geosciences, including (but not limited to):
- Sensor design, data calibration and validation, technology and platform development, including novel ground-based, UAV/drone and airborne setups, as well as spaceborne systems
- Signal processing and advanced techniques for image analysis and enhancement, machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence, big data analytics, classification, segmentation, target detection and monitoring, data fusion, tomography, polarimetry
- Cartography, surveying, geomorphological mapping, digital surface modeling through radargrammetry and Interferometric SAR (InSAR)
- Land and environmental monitoring through change detection, offset tracking, Differential InSAR (DInSAR) and multi-interferogram approaches based on coherent, persistent and distributed scatterers (e.g., PS, SBAS, MT-InSAR, SqueeSAR), Multiple-Aperture Interferometry (MAI)
- SAR applications for biophysical and geophysical parameters retrieval, meteorological applications, natural and anthropogenic hazards and risk mapping, urban and structural health monitoring, oceanography and maritime applications

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. Geomatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
