Seafloor Magmatic and Hydrothermal Activity

Dear Colleagues,

Submarine magmatic processes and hydrothermal activities have been the focus of Marine Geology research for many years. With the continuous study of the seafloor environment, more and more deep-sea geological resources have been discovered. The magma and hydrothermal activities of the seafloor are related to the distribution of deep-sea geological resources.

This Special Issue focuses on new discoveries in the exploration of magmatic and hydrothermal activities on the seafloor, including but not limited to subduction zones, seamounts and mid-ocean ridges. These related studies may involve magmatic chamber processes, magmatic material sources, magmatic evolution, elemental material cycles, hydrothermal mineralization and their effects on the deep-sea environment.

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.
