Stable Isotopes in Hydrological Processes

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue covers the “Stable Isotopes in Hydrological Processes”. Isotope tracing is currently widely used to study water balance and streamflow formation occurring both in large river and small tributary basins. Datasets of isotope tracers within regional and global river networks allow the opportunity to access the spatiotemporal dynamics of runoff processes, evaporative enrichment, and depletion that occurs in different climatic zones. Most recently, isotope-capable predictive hydrological models have been useful for the attribution of climate change and water and land management.

Papers for this Special Issue may address novel aspects of stable isotopes used in the study of a wide range of hydrological processes: water cycle variability at various spatial and temporal scales, assess the effect of evaporation and the rate of water exchange, genetic relationship of surface waters with precipitation and groundwater, hydrological models, etc.

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.
