GNSS can detect the seismic atmospheric-ionospheric variations,
which can be used to investigate the seismo-atmospheric disturbance
characteristics and provide insights on the earthquake. This book
presents the theory, methods, results, and modeling of GNSS
atmospheric seismology. Sesimo-tropospheric anomalies,
Pre-/Co-/Post-seismic ionospheric disturbances, epicenter
estimation, tsunami and volcano ionospheric disturbances, and
volcanic plumes detection with GNSS will be presented and discussed
per chapter in the book.
The versatile and available GNSS signals can detect the Earth's
surface environments as a new, highly precise, continuous,
all-weather and near-real-time remote sensing tool. This book
presents the theory and methods of GNSS remote sensing as well as
its applications in the atmosphere, oceans, land and hydrology.
Ground-based atmospheric sensing, space-borne atmospheric sensing,
reflectometry, ocean remote sensing, hydrology sensing as well as
cryosphere sensing with the GNSS will be discussed per chapter in
the book.
Presents integral observations from GNSS, GIS, and Remote Sensing
in estimating and understanding meteorological changes Explains how
to monitor and retrieve atmospheric parameters changes using GNSS
and Remote Sensing Shows 3D modelling and evaluations of
meteorological variation processing from GIS Helps meteorologists
develop and use space-air-ground observations for meteorological
applications Features case studies that illustrate the best
practices in monitoring metrological hazards and utilizes space
information techniques.
Although lunar exploration began in the 1960s, the moon and other
planets have many long-standing, unanswered questions about
planetary environments, origin, formation and evolution,
magnetization of crustal rocks, internal structure, and possible
life. However, with the recent development of planetary geodesy and
remote sensing with higher spatial and spectral resolution have
come new opportunities to explore and understand the moon and
planets in greater detail. Written by well-established,
international scientists in the planetary science and remote
sensing fields, Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing presents the
latest methods and techniques of planetary geodesy and remote
sensing. The book discusses the latest results in planetary
science, including theory, methods, measurements, topography,
gravity and magnetic field, atmosphere and ionosphere,
geomorphology, volcano, craters, internal structure, and water. The
book also highlights comparative studies with the earth in the
atmosphere, geomorphology, and interiors of the planets. It
discusses future missions and future objectives of planetary
exploration and science using the latest advances in remote
sensing. With chapters contributed by a stellar list of pioneers
and experts, the book provides new insight on the application of
new technologies and the observations in planetary geodesy. It is
suitable for those working in the field as well as for planetary
probe designers, engineers, and planetary geologists and
geophysicists.

This contributed monograph is the first work to present the latest
results and findings on the new topic and hot field of planetary
exploration and sciences, e.g., lunar surface iron content and mare
orientale basalts, Earth's gravity field, Martian radar
exploration, crater recognition, ionosphere and astrobiology, Comet
ionosphere, exoplanetary atmospheres and planet formation in
binaries. By providing detailed theory and examples, this book
helps readers to quickly familiarize themselves with the field. In
addition, it offers a special section on next-generation planetary
exploration, which opens a new landscape for future exploration
plans and missions. Prof. Shuanggen Jin works at the Shanghai

This volume contains the proceedings of 24 peer-reviewed papers
presented at the 3rd International Gravity Field Service (IGFS)
General Assembly, which was organized by the International Gravity
Field Service (IGFS), Commission 2 of the International Association
of Geodesy (IAG), and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO),
Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Assembly was successfully held in
Shanghai, China from June 30th to July 6th, 2014 with over 130
participants from 25 countries. The focus of the Assembly is on
methods for observing, estimating and interpreting the Earth
gravity field as well as its applications, including 6 sessions:
gravimetry and gravity networks, global geopotential models and
vertical datum unification, local geoid/gravity modelling,
satellite gravimetry, mass movements in the Earth system and solid
Earth investigations.
