Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, we have been facing drastic climate change and the various geotechnical engineering issues that follow with it. Thus, environmentally friendly and sustainable development is now an inevitable challenge for civil and geotechnical engineers, with the world and society asking geotechnical engineering to provide solutions to cope with energy depletion, environmental pollution, land degradation, geohazards, and global warming. This Special Issue welcomes all types of contributions to resolve current challenges in geotechnical engineering, from fundamental research to practical implementation scales.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a source of Advances in Geotechnical Engineering that deal with conventional or new fields in geotechnical engineering, including development of new material/methods for sustainable geotechnical engineering practice, geoenvironmental topics and research, renewable energy sources, recent attempts in CO2 and waste reduction, soil erosion and land preservation, and new space (underground, offshore, and planetary) development related to geotechnical engineering.

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 papers will be 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 2000 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.
