Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, increasing attention is being paid to novel applications of geophysical imaging and data processing in the investigation of unknown/poorly studied geophysical processes and complex geological environments in the Earth’s near subsurface. The exploration of the “Earth’s Thin Skin” (0-10 km of depth) is vital for human life and has an extraordinary social and economic impact (e.g., natural hazards, sustainable geo-energy and geo-resources, extreme events related to climate change, environmental protection, etc.), coherently with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to promote and share timely studies focusing on the following key topics.
(1) novel approaches for the analysis and interpretation of geophysical imaging;
(2) the development of innovative algorithms for geophysical data processing, with great attention paid to novel AI-based methods (e.g., machine learning);
(3) new methods for the analysis of timelapse sequences of 4D geophysical images;
(4) the development of innovative methods for the 3D and 4D visualization of geophysical tomographic images.
Papers on recent research achievements obtained in the framework of different applicative domains are strongly welcomed and encouraged (natural hazards, environmental monitoring; hydrogeology, geo-resources, engineering geology, urban geophysics, archaeology, etc.) are strongly welcomed.
Dr. Vincenzo Lapenna
Guest Editor
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-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.
