Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Plate convergent zones are the most active tectonic settings on the Earth surface. The majority of seismicity, volcanism, and orogenesis is distributed in these regions. Various plate evolutionary processes at convergence zones have been observed and interpreted by interdisciplinary geoscientific studies, including geological, geophysical, geochemical, and geodynamic studies, which provide comprehensive insights into enigmatic plate convergent systems.

In this Special Issue, original research reviews and perspectives that describe recent advances and case studies on the Earth Sciences at the plate convergent zones are welcomed.

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.

The continuous data from the YL array and four AU stations during the lifetime of the cyclone TOMAS in March 2010 were downloaded from IRIS. By performing frequency-wave number (F-K) analysis on the array data, it was found that the orientation of the maximum energy of the secondary microseisms (0.1~0.5 Hz) was consistent with the movement of TOMAS when the central wind speed reached the typhoon level. The high wind speed of the cyclone could generate secondary microseisms as well as the high swell. However, the large global earthquake can affect the microseismic observations using F-K. The AU stations have a better microseism observation than the YL array, which might be due to the vibrating and tilting of the hydrophone caused by the turbulence. The F-K analysis on microseisms can produce better slowness and back azimuth observations than polarization. Full article

The Egyptian passive continental margin is considered a remarkable geologic setting, in addition to being an occupation and manufacturing locality in north Egypt. This work used accessible potential field data, such as marine gravity data, to provide a wider vision of the potential field of the area under investigation. The results of the two-dimensional (2D) gravity modelling revealed a good agreement between the modelled gravity and observed gravity fields, including known regional structures found in the investigated area. The findings revealed that crustal modelling was affected by the tectonic structure and the huge thickness of sedimentary layers, which act as barriers to the crystal crust. The results revealed that the crustal thickness and density are spread among the deposited layer and the inferior mantle in the Moho range. Furthermore, it was found that the basement extent lies nearly 6–9 km lower in the northern Egyptian coastline to approximately 13 km under the Herodotus abyssal plain. Moreover, it was shown that the thickness of the sedimentary layers deposit increases near the East Mediterranean Ridge. Full article
