Water Isotopes in the Investigation of the Connection between Atmosphere and Terrestrial Water Cycle

Dear Colleagues,

As natural tracers, water-stable isotopes have been routinely used in hydrological studies and have significantly contributed to our understanding of climate and hydrological processes. This proposed Special Issue is dedicated to advancements in the field of stable isotope hydrology. In this Special Issue, we invite the submission of research articles that use water-stable isotopes (δ¹⁸O, δ²H, d-excess and ¹⁷O-excess) to understand atmospheric processes and their interactions with the terrestrial component of the hydrological cycle, and address hydrological questions in freshwater ecosystems (rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands) through their connectivity. This Special Issue also welcome articles on isotope-enabled climate models and hydroclimate proxies, such as ice-cores, speleothems, tree-rings and applications that aim at understanding the connectivity between the surface and the atmosphere using isotopic tracers. All submissions must contain original work not being considered for publication elsewhere and must follow the submission guidelines given on the journal’s homepage.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
