Advances in Applied Geophysics for Environmental Monitoring and Cultural Heritage

Dear Colleagues,

Geophysical techniques are continually evolving, providing powerful non-invasive tools for investigating buried archeological remains, preserving cultural heritage, and monitoring environmental changes. The integration of advanced geophysical methods with remote sensing, data modeling, and artificial intelligence is further expanding research capabilities in these fields.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent innovations in applied geophysics for cultural heritage and environmental monitoring. We welcome contributions that present theoretical developments, methodological improvements, and innovative applications. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), magnetometry, seismic and electromagnetic methods, and interdisciplinary approaches that combine geophysics with other scientific disciplines. 

By collecting cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to offer a comprehensive overview of current trends and future directions in applied geophysics. We invite researchers, professionals, and scholars to submit their work and contribute to advancing the sustainable management of cultural and environmental heritage.

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.
