Recent Developments and Emerging Trends in Hydrogeology

Dear Colleagues,

Complex, natural interactions between atmosphere and hydrosphere, modified by different scale human interventions, control water resource availability and ecosystem health. A holistic approach of the underlying processes is necessary to forecast spatial changes and temporal dynamics of these interactions, which allows building up solid progresses in conceptualization and modeling, in all phases of the research processes, useful for management and protection measurements.

This Special Issue on “Recent Developments and Emerging Trends in Hydrogeology” represents advances in hydrogeology intended to resolve problems related to the availability of water resources and ecosystem conservation in a context of climate change. To tackle these, a multidisciplinary approach working at different scales (from field to lab observations) is essential; therefore, themes include collaborative research from micro (i.e., molecular biology, isotope chemistry) to macro (i.e., groundwater–surface water modeling, wavelet analyses) scales.

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.
