Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue on “Applied Geodesy and Morphometrics” (AG&M) in Applied Sciences is a forum for peer-reviewed research articles that combine advanced statistics and geodesy with visualization tools applied to engineering of the terrestrial built environment, natural and physical sciences, and planetary surfaces. AG&M will publish innovative contributions on multisensor systems and sensor data fusion focusing on the surface modeling and classification of georeferenced data. Hence, topics related to navigation, mobile mapping, and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) from point cloud data will also be covered by AG&M. The scope includes any optical, microwave, laser, or hydroacoustics 3D measurement techniques and other sensors for geotechnical measurement analytics and remote sensing. Articles from all areas involving geodetic networks, spatiotemporal deformation analysis, modeling of spaceweather variability (e.g., the ionosphere), application of geospatial artificial intelligence (geoAI) and machine learning on big geospatial data, local geodynamic processes, intelligent alert systems, and measurement techniques for large construction sites and large civil infrastructures will be presented. Manuscripts on geoAI for sensor control, sensor fusion, and big geodata analysis with a strong emphasis on applied geodesy will also be published.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

Satellite geodesy, an indispensable modern tool for determining upper-crust deformation, can be used to assess tectonically active structures and improve our understanding of the geotectonic evolution in tectonically active regions. A region fulfilling these criteria is the North Aegean, part of the Eastern Mediterranean. It is one of the most tectonically, and hence, seismically, active regions worldwide, which makes it ideal for applying a satellite geodesy investigation. Although many regional studies have been carried out across the entire Aegean region, there are three more focused case studies that provide better resolution for different parts of the North Aegean. The synthesis of these case studies can lead to an overall geodynamic assessment of the North Aegean. The North Aegean Sea case study is characterized by the North Aegean Trough (NAT), which is directly associated with the westward prolongation of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Both NE–SW normal and strike-slip faulting have been documented in this offshore region. Geodetic analysis considers geodetic data, derived from 32 permanent GPS/GNSS stations (recorded for the 2008–2014 time period). This results in the estimation of the Maximum (MaHE) and Minimum (MiHE) Horizontal Extension, Maximum Shear Strain (MSS) and Area Strain (AS) parameters, based on triangular methodology implementation; the same strain parameters have similarly been estimated for the Strymon and Thessalian basins, respectively. The Strymon basin (first case study) is located in the central part of the northern Greek mainland, and it is dominated by NW–SE (up to E–W) dip-slip normal faults; this area has been monitored by 16 permanent GPS/GNSS stations for seven consecutive years. Regarding the Thessalian basin case study, E–W, dip-slip and normal faults are noted at the basin boundaries and within the Thessalian plain. This region has also been monitored for seven consecutive years by 27 permanent GPS/GNSS stations. However, this case study is characterized by a strong seismic event (Mw6.3; 3 March 2021), and thus all strain parameters depicted the pre-seismic deformation. Analysis of these three different case studies confirmed the current tectonic setting of the North Aegean region, while revealing new aspects about the geodynamic evolution of the wider region, such as highlighting areas with significant tectonic activity and the crucial role of strike-slip faulting in the broader Aegean region.
